There have been questions recently about the status of the Hula project, and I apologize for the silence while things have been sorted out on Novell's end.
The quick synopsis is, Novell no longer has anyone working full-time on Hula...

Thank you for the clarification.

HTTP/2 added a lot of complexity (it's just a Google protocol, based on SPDY originally), many image formats are proprietary and patented, HTML got 'replaced' by Java-Scripts [sic], and many URLs (the URL system was created in the early 90s) are just long strings for proprietary 'webapps'

A 10-word sentence being read by a million people can have the same impact or magnitude (exposure-wise) as a million-word book being read by just 10 people
