Sun's Project Darkstar Game Server Platform No More 82
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."

Just did a write-up on Wonderland [devlab.ca]. Development resources are no longer being applied to the project. From what I'm reading the community is going to keep it going, but it's still disappointing to hear that something so forward thinking is being cut from the vine.

Well yeah - Wonderland runs on Darkstar so it looks like it's all going to be gone.
