Hello, primary author of Overture here. Wasn't expecting someone to link to this old site again!
Anyway, a few quick points. Overture is the basis for both the FastMail (https://www.fastmail.com https://www.fastmail.com) and Topicbox (https://www.topicbox.com https://www.topicbox.com) web apps and really does provide a great basis for building large, performant rich applications. However…
I do not recommend other people user Overture directly at the moment (although you might like to look at the code base for some useful ideas you can steal). We don't currently have the resources to build all the documentation, tutorials and other resources needed to build a community around it, and with that in mind we are currently not committed to non-breaking changes or semantic versioning (we can update our own apps at the same time as any breaking change). We originally open-sourced this when we were part of Opera, mainly so that if we parted ways and needed to build something new, we could still reuse all this code (it couldn't end up as proprietary Opera code!).
I'm happy to answer general questions here however if people are interested.
