Sirius and Sirius Web
In three articles, Cédric Brun from OBEO, discusses Sirius and Siruis Web. In the first, he provides a thorough description of the technologies and work required to build a web-based graphical diagramming tool.

And in the final article, he recounts the strong release record for Sirius and Sirius Web.
