[Dynapyide-developer] RE: Beebop

[<hv...@ya...>]

OK, first my biggest and most gentle excuses for my very long absence -
in presence but not in mind though. My stay at the hospital, the lovely
summer heat we've had here the last couple of WEEKS (sweat!) and of
course the Soccer WC (probably shouldn't go further into that one
considering our split loyalties - but there is still hopes for us both
:P ) got to me and I just have to admit I had to get my priorities
sorted.=20

Now I'm trying to get enough grip of how Bebop works to know what to ask
Tim about it. I'm far from sure Bebop is the right framework. I do like
the idea of reusing Sun's JavaBeans and EJB's (although EJB still seem
like overkill yet), on the other hand they're not Open Source and I'm a
bit of a purist - not for the sake itself but rather for any future
issues. Any thoughts on that?

Anyways, David, did you get the 3 RTF-files AMBITION.RTF, ARCITECT.RTF &
DEFINIT.RTF and did you mean you have them spellchecked?

Purist I said. Well, as long as possible I think we should stick to
existing  and defacto standards - especially W3C's.=20
For example I propose we aim to use XML as grounding for all Documents
and then DTD's to format them for the various HTML, XHTML and XML
variants - XML is after all specified to be general and edxtensible to
cover all these markup languages(going as far back as to SGML seems
oldish and overkill too).

By that the only DOM we need to have inbuilt support for is the latest
XML DOM I figure (and having a good DTD-compatible validating parser).
And any thinkering I've done leads that the most genral common thing for
thequniques we want to cover with DynAPI <!-- IDE --> is the DOM. My
research leaveas that any middleware done in Java that were initiated by
W3C on a DOM parser ended up within the Apache Java/Jakarta projects.

By that, what would you feel is the most urging specification to get
down in writing? Being a bit distracted away from what I was at, I kind
of lost the track on what's next.

OK, mainly just wanted to give a lifesign and that I'm still onto
working further with the project. I don't expect myself to have much to
do with the coding of the inner workings of the IDE("the core" system),
but rather to get working on the a bit with a default GUI if any coding.
