sIFR2 : Scalable Inman Flash Replacement 2 now open source

I saw that new technology more than 2 year ago. I give a try for one client, but in that time the server was not enough powerful to serve the replacement of the text in the Flash file for that mid-size traffic site.

Now it seem to work nice with the version 2 of that technology. And the good news it's now open source, under the CC-GNU LGPL license, so anyone can use it free of charge.

Here a live example of the technology use at the Journal Le Devoir, a site who get around 500,000 visitors each month.
