hi Zac!

Few questions/comments:

can you send me some screen shots of the strange rendering artifacts you are encountering in linux? Sounds interesting :) 

Yes, I think the idea is that there would be some kind of "project" file as you described.

On the coding practices, I've tried to be as consistent as possible, but you may find some problems. Probably the 2 biggest conventions are tab indenting, and all brackets on individual lines. If you folks find any problems or lack of coding standards please feel free to make suggestions so we can fix them.

I'll try to come up with some mockups for a slicker UI, but I'm not an artist so they probably won't be beautiful. :)

On the issue tracker, I agree. I've been trying to use the issue tracker that is available here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?limit=10&func=&group_id=179303&atid=888614

Also, if you folks would like to chat via Instant messenger I'm on aol instant messenger (MikeR1728) and yahoo im (covert_access).

Hello,

I'm Zac :). I've never used mailing-lists before, so tell me if I'm doing it wrong.

work on these platforms but friends tell me they've had some mixed
success getting it to run.
Sure. It's currently rather bugged as it is, when I said it "ran at 5FPS with the grid on", I meant it was very laggy. Some labels and buttons are also smaller than the text that is in them.

Sounds awesome, that means however that you should have support for "projects" that can have multiple pages, and perhaps generate a sitemap.

components, possibly in a way that would let people create their own
widgets
Perhaps some sort of vector based format would also be good, rather than bitmap controls.

Perhaps you could come up with a few mock-ups? (Done in WireMaster of course).

Secondly, is there some sort of coding convention you'd like us to follow?

Also, perhaps we should be using the feature/issue tracker on the sf.net page? We don't all want to be working on the same thing :-).
