Any hint?
I think this came up on the list not too long ago. There was some
opinion that it might make an interesting open source project.
Considering that it's a Apple proprietary format, covers a lot of
different formats, I thought this might not be the case. You would
have to keep up with Apple without a lot of documentation, examples,
or open source reference implementations provided by them. You could
possibly take some small subset and try to maintain it cross-
platform. There is zip/jar an existing cross-platform format used to
distribute java content. There is JNLP and WebStart which Apple
provides support for and an implementation of.
What would be the advantage of cross-platform disk images?
