This is exactly what I'm going to do.

Go ahead! You'll probably end up converting them to XSLT, which isn't a big deal, just more tags. > Then when r2 comes out I can just add the code.

I promise more details are coming soon, but the basic jist of the stuff we're building on top of r2 is that it will allow you define a logical collection of fields (say fields that make up an 'article' for your site) and have an editor created for that entity automatically by the system. Anyway, groovy stuff I'm looking forward to releasing it. _alex > -Mark > > -----Original Message----- > From: Alex Black [mailto:en...@tu...] > Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2001 9:13 PM > To: Faine, Mark; binarycloud-dev > Subject: Re: [binarycloud-dev] Installing on Netscape Iplanet with > Oracle > > >> So you would say that r2 is close enough to release to wait.
