Hi,

Alrighty... Indeed, seeing people actually use the framework would be
very cool for starters.
With regard to SVG, it would indeed not be so good to implement the same
thing twice. I too, would prefer a SVG-only implementation of the nodes.
I will have to play around with the current version a little to get the
hang of SVG / Xpascal and such, but it seems pretty straighforward.
For now an addition to SVG 1.1 that will allow ConnectionPoints will be
enough to keep us going for a while...

But first, some playing around in the fresh code at college tonight! :)
Class is about Operating System design, so I'll probably be able to
*not* pay attention ;)

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi,
regarding money, I mentioned ridiculous amounts, well just fun. I do not
have any expectations either.
And I think that money should be collected through companies that use
the system for business purposes, and we are far from such situation.
At this point donations in the form of usage, bug reporting and
cooperation will satisfy me, and I will consider it a great success.=20
There are many projects that never manage to reach this point. Even to
reach this mark there is still a lot to do.

I will not be against some profit, but I not will be unsatisfied, if
nothing in terms of money will come out of it.

SVG is running only partially, but you can already do something with it.

There is some work to do before alpha release.
I also think that migration from current rectangle and other objects to
svg is the first task, and then to use svg only points and methods. Why
to implement the same functionality twice in different ways, right?

Unless better way will be found (something I omitted or hidden to me in
current SVG specs, or new SVG version) connections points will be
implemented as an extension to SVG 1.1. Maybe we can later to ask w3c to
make an enhancement into new version, while this must be common problem
for all svg graphers.
