Hi List:

Does anyone know why Sophie is being ported to Java?
In  http://sophie2.org/trac/wiki/AboutPage this page , they mention Astea
Solutions and their contributed Java codebase... 

"Sophie is currently being significantly revised and improved, thanks to a
third grant from the Mellon Foundation in October, 2008 and to a Java
codebase contributed by Astea Solutions, a company formed to design and
develop proprietary and open source electronic publishing products. With
this funding, Sophie is not only being rewritten in Java to enhance its
stability, but is being transformed from its initial iteration as a powerful
multimedia authoring too into a reading and authoring environment that
incorporates the recent cultural shifts instigated by social networking and
software."

I have not used Sophie myself, but was it unstable?

Thanks!
