HWXperl is only the interpreter for HWX apps. More things for HWX will come,
like the HWXeditor and tools, like PerlBin.

I'm very happy too. This HWX project, specially the GML format, is becoming
a fever, but I'm looking for developers, and the majority has the profile of
users. Now we have in the development team 3 peoples, counting with me.
Podmaster was interested too, but I think that it want to develope the
perlcompiler project, using the PerlBin tool of HWX for this, if you can
talk with him to help in HWX will be good too.

Now Thiago, the other developer from Brazil, was working in the Web Site. I
asked for him something very simple, but functional.

When will be the next event? Will be interesting to have HWX more stable
until that.

Of course! Send me your name and e-mail to put in the author list.

To work in the project use the module release of CVS, on SF. Now we are
porting the controls to GML. I think that the best way to start is porting
the control Wx::Button. Marcus, from Germany too, was doing this too, but
use it to understand the GML and HWX structure for the objects, since it's
very simple. Talk with Marcus, it can help you with the tips to port the
controls.

In this week I will put the TODO file in the CVS, it will be generated from
the site. And a doc of how to port a control to GML will be done too. But
until that, take a look in the source of the module GML and HWX. And of
course, try to find more peoples to the project. :-)
