Well, we all have our opinions, but those people that actually write=20
some PythonCard framework code get to commit those opinions to cvs=20
<wink> Anyone that wants to join the team can, they just need to start=20=

supplying some code, samples, bug fixes, enhancements, etc.

It is important for PythonCard to be easy to learn and use. If you want=20=

to create something like JBuilder, CBuilder, etc. then that sounds=20
great to me as long as it doesn't require the underlying PythonCard API=20=

to become overly complex and you aren't expecting me to write all that=20=

code; I haven't ever used JBuilder or CBuilder. We can always include=20
multiple "builder tools" that will appeal to different developer skill=20=

levels.

If you want a more complex and feature rich API then you might actually=20=

be happier just coding in "raw" wxPython and using a tool like=20
Boa-constructor which is modeled after Delphi. If you decide to try=20
Boa, just make sure you check it out from cvs, since the release=20
version is very old.

Sounds good to me. If you have a URL we can go ahead and add it to the=20=

More Applications page now. If you don't have it available on a website=20=

and it isn't too large, then you can just send it to the mailing list=20
as a .zip attachment, otherwise email the zip directly to me.
