sproketboy writes "Project Darkstar, an open source software platform from Sun labs that simplifies the development of horizontally scalable servers for online games, is being discontinued as of the Oracle acquisition. This project, mentioned a couple of years back on Slashdot, was a unique concept for building an application server specific to on-line gaming. Sadly they were so close at version 0.9.11 (which is still very stable). Hopefully the open source community can get involved and help continue work on this project."pa href="http://developers.slashdot.org/story/10/02/03/1647207/Suns-Project-Darkstar-Game-Server-Platform-No-More?from=rss"img src="http://developers.slashdot.org/slashdot-it.pl?from=rssamp;op=imageamp;style=h0amp;sid=10/02/03/1647207"/a/ppa href="http://developers.slashdot.org/story/10/02/03/1647207/Suns-Project-Darkstar-Game-Server-Platform-No-More?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/t-gWYARHwrCekd-SR4rwKUR52n8/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/t-gWYARHwrCekd-SR4rwKUR52n8/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/t-gWYARHwrCekd-SR4rwKUR52n8/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/t-gWYARHwrCekd-SR4rwKUR52n8/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotDevelopers/~4/ofA3xw9CH28" height="1" width="1"/
