Amaya (formerly Amaya World)^[4] is a free and open source WYSIWYG web authoring tool^[5] with browsing abilities, created by a structured editor project at the INRIA, a French national research institution, and later adopted by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Amaya is used as a testbed for web standards^[6] and replaced the Arena web browser.^[7]^[8]^[9] Compared with those of other modern web browsers, Amaya's system requirements are minor.^[10]^{[dubious – discuss]}

[edit] History

Ramzi Guetari joined the team in October 1996.^[11] Daniel Veillard was responsible for the integration of CSS in Amaya and maintained the Linux version.^[11]

[edit] Codebase timeline

Amaya is a direct descendant of the Grif WYSIWYG^[12] SGML editor created by Vincent Quint and Irène Vatton at INRIA in the early 1980s,^[11] and of the HTML editor Symposia, itself based on Grif, both developed and sold by French software company Grif SA.

Originally designed as a structured text editor (predating SGML) and later as an HTML and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) editor, it was then expanded to include XML-based capabilities such as XHTML,^[12] MathML^[12] and Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG).^[12]

Amaya displays free and open image formats such as PNG and SVG, as well as a subset of SVG animation.

[edit] A test bed application

It was used as a test-bed for new web technologies that were not supported in major browsers.^[10]^[13]

Amaya is the first client that supported the RDF annotation schema using XPointer.^[14]^[15]^[16]^[17] The browser is available for Linux,^[18] Windows (NT and 95),^[18] Mac OS X, AmigaOS, SPARC / Solaris,^[18] AIX,^[18] OSF/1.^[18]

[edit] Naming and logo

The old icon

Tamaya^[19] was formerly the name of Amaya. Tamaya is the name of the tree represented in the logo. Tamaya is used by a French company and is trademarked so the developers chose to drop the first letter to make it Amaya.^[20]
