Ok, we're correcting this...

There is a reference in our documentation and also in the description of ou=

project in sourceforge. DynAPI is very good code and is a solid base to=20
build widgets, as we're doing in thyapi.


* The naming convention I have mixed feelings about. I understand the..

We'll change this also. We are thinking in something like in Ubuntu, while=
=20
it maintains a release number, each version has a codename. This seems to m=

the best option.

We've changed DynAPI very few, as we were thinking in take advantage of=20
DynAPI updates. Fortunately we can extend the objects that we want to chang=
e=20
in child classes. Recently, Raphael told me of some feature that would need=
=20
a change in some DynAPI class, I am not sure now which class. I think that=
=20
some performance optimizations would be good in the near future.

* Wondering how you handled the automatic documentation system.


Saw Franks answer... Natdoc is awesome!

This is our main priority at the moment. Very main priority. We're going to=
=20
do some examples.

Well, keep up the good work and best regards to you all,
>=20

Thank you! and thank you for your feedback! we are doing the possible to=20
make the work the best as possible.=20
