Well, that was the starting point yes! Thing is, that,
DHTML crossbrowser libs seems to be popping up every
here and there - and its hard to say that one lib fits
all. And once this proect was once publicly announced
- a lot of lib auhors started asking how  have their
lib (DynAPI clone or distribution) suppored by the
IDE.

From my POV, supporting one disto only would make the
IDE old even before it would be stable enough. DynAPI
will still be the lib we model on - ie default support
for - but with general support for plugging in support
for any other javascript library.

Right and wrong I would say... Confusion in as how to
work the dvelopment and actual coding. BUT the aims is
more or less defined in the docs in the pre-alpha
distro held by David (seconddevil). 

Myself am naibly going to aim my efforts on the forst,
and David will be mastering the latter. though of
course nobody is cut-off from anything.

Certainly! Hopefully 2.9 will arrive before we get
into adjusting default lib-support in the IDE. You got
any word on progress or release Raymond?

Great! Since the aim is that the component-binding
will be done all in javascripts (onload script etc),
your advanced scripting skill could come to use :)

catch up something else now before we do... :)

True, very true. I wasn't even with the team back when
it was registered, but has been trying on and off to
get the weels moving...
However the project still develps for every roundup.
hopefully this is the last time we will have to reviwe
it to get going...

OK, hope we can feed that curiousity foreover then! :)

Thing is we've basicly just had a handful (or less)
active members, so we have been communicating a lot
off-list. Backtracking the mailing lis might not be
that easy a task, so pleas ask anything you'd like to
know more on at this list - david or me should be able
to respond to most.

Sounds great! We'll certainly benefit to add more
value to the IDE with an extended widet-collection. We
could all host our widgets within the context of the
IDE, no?

That isn't reaaly within th scope of the IDE itself,
but rather DynAPI issues in large. But of course,
support goes back to the api, cause I'm all certain
users will NOT be able to comprehand which is which...

Sounds like you should sync with Dave on the core
system coding.'

BTW I have a connect with a french lady ready to
mentor on UML and architecture building &
specification.

BTW 2 Added the currently most recent specs to this
mail. Hopefully it may be in help to get an overview
of where the project is heading...
