  The CW operating soft XFELs have been proposed worldwide to serve large user community simultaneous. In principle, the superconducting linac technology is the only solution to realize such a cw light source. However, large amount of R&D efforts are still needed to build such a linac, which could delay such facility for a significant long period. Therefore, it will be very important to explore the other technology based such XFEL, like the normal conducting based quasi-cw (10s kHz) linac. With the initial study, it turns out that such a quasi-cw linac could be built with L-band (1.3 GHz) or X-band (11.4 GHz) technology. And the L-band devices for such a linac have been developed in the frame work of ILC.
