Hong Kong SAR,
Peoples Republic of China - 22 August 2007 - Center for E-Commerce
Infrastructure Development (CECID), The University of Hong Kong (HKU)
is pleased to announce the launch of Hermes Messaging Gateway v2.0
(H2O) community website to enhance support services to users.
Despite that it has
just been released for two months, H2O is already downloaded and
adopted by developers and users from over 40 economies around the
world. Overwhelming responses and valuable feedback are received daily
via the mailing list cecid-hermes2@googlegroups.com.
To enhance support to H2O users, a community website (http://community.cecid.hku.hk/index.php/product/h2o/)
is launched with useful information and articles ranging from technical
issues to general usage of H2O in different platforms. A discussion
forum is also being setup to facilitate users to share and exchange
everything related to H2O.
First version
released in June 2002, Hermes has since become a popular and
awards-winning open source solution for organizations to exchange
information in ebXML Messaging (ebMS) or Applicability Specification 2
(AS2) formats with their business partners. The latest version, H2O
(H-two-oh), replaces two predecessors (H2CE and H2EE) with additional
tools and a full set of documentation to make configuration and
administration even more easily. H2O and its source code (http://community.cecid.hku.hk/index.php/product/download/download_h2o/)
are released under GNU General Public License Version 2. CECID’s VARs
provide professional support to save users time. Requests can be sent
to enquiry@cecid.hku.hk.
