- kimrules, on 10/12/2007, -4/+17I hate it when the undead comment here.
- madcaesar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Mirror doesn't work for this.
- samste, on 10/12/2007, -9/+11bury me
- mcfly1204, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Actually, people don't typically eat Amberjack due to the fact that most have worms throughout the tail section. Well, maybe silly Asians do.
- arashy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I would be happy if you do. Send me a link then, so I can feature it on the Amberjack homepage.
BTW: I have made some major improvements today, based on the feedback here and elsewhere. Read more:

@DivineDominion
I will care for that. Watch for updates in the next 2 days, please.
@Tredici
You are absolutely right. That might be easier for people who know how to do that. Still, most of the people who own a web site do not necessarily care about CSS, JavaScript and all this techie-stuff.
And I am thinking about a plugin mechanism for Amberjack, so everyone can submit useful plugins and share them with everyone else (or not). That should be very flexible in the end :)
Ah, and many thanks for digging Amberjack!
Cheers, Arash - mcfly1204, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Isn't an Amerjack a fish?
- arashy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hi, I have now LGPLed Amberjack:
http://amberjack.wordpress.com/2006/11/04/lgpl-instead-of-gpl-major-updates/ - arashy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@myfly a tasty one!
- david76, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Indeed, amberjack makes for excellent sushi, skipjack too.
- syco123, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1thanks arashy will do,
Not sure why my comment was dug down? Some people dislike your project so much they're taking it out on me lol. - syco123, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Very simple option for attention deficit users to get into your site without have to do too much.
Thanks for making this open source. I'll use this for sure on my current project. - ptknight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You need it if you wanna look prettier
- arashy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Hi Wyrmwood47,
I just took the 'default', to be honest. I have no problem in turning it into LGPL. I will do that today or tomorrow, ok? - arashy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I can't think of any reason why HTTPS should not be supported, although I haven't tried it yet. Maybe it's about something else? Drop me an email with your tour's entry link so I can support you: arash@yalpani.de
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1No support for HTTPS based URLs?
- Tredici, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It may be an interesting way to gradually ease understanding of complicated websites, and I'll admit I probably now know enough about Amberjack to get started and implement it. However, building a custom JavaScript-powered tour like this relatively easy. If you do it yourself, it will meet your requirements exactly, avoid the need for skins and, best of all, eschew the use of URLs with multiple parameters, which are deemed less attention from search engines.
- Wyrmwood47, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0As a coder I like the idea, as a developer I worry about it's GPL'd ness. It makes sense for internet websites, but generally speaking it's only ok to use GPL'd 'containers' (OS, Apache, etc) rather than COMPONENTS. Our company offers a Web-interfaced product, but since it isn't Software as a Service, but rather infrastructure from others, the license prevents us from taking advantage of the good work packages like Amberjack provide. Is LGPL/APL a problem, or do people just 'default' to GPL?
- Tredici, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yeah, sure, I get you. That comment was more geared toward digg users; I'm sure a huge bunch will have a tight enough grasp on JavaScript to build a custom tour, or at least the knowledge to find out how. I'll agree this would be very useful for those without an understanding of JavaScript at their disposal.

- skillio, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Kaspersky detects something awry on this, when clicking on "demo":
Trojan program (modification)

not sure if it's a false positive, or what, but there you have it. - wlvrn, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I like this. It's an interesting way communicate complicated sites to people when they first arrive.
- DivineDominion, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Really cool idea. Though forms are still working; a workaround could be to disable not already disabled form elements, setting some style so that they look as if they were NOT disabled (inheriting from ordinary design) and so on.
I'd like to have something like a "test form filler" as well, like having multiple steps on one page without reload or other interruptions which fill a form step by step e.g. to show the user the new way-too-cool signup form :) Screencasting for noobs, so to speak :D - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Nevermind.
