Interesting, is there some sort of comment system on the unit references though, like for example the ones created with FPDOC.

The PHP for me and etc. are a waste of my time. I figure there are tons of developers using ASP. I'm not talking about hustling over people from PHP into Pascal, I'm talking about hustling people that use ASP and DELPHI over into Pascal. > > While this is correct, we should provide some paradigma to work with web-apps > in pascal. > There have been some small efforts, but none really 'click'... Because no one has demonstrated them. You are all using PHP wikis and etc. The reason things become popular, is when people demonstrate their use. PHP sucked at one time. PHP was a "hobby" by someone too. > > Waste of good developer time. Maybe in time menubars can be more > > configurable. Waste of god screen space you mean, to have a component palette visible when you don't even use it. Same reason you turn off options dialogs once you are done with them., instead of leaving them open all the time. > > I'm afraid that this partially will fall into the same trap as Eclipse.

You don't need integrated environment for cliptext or many other situations. What people need is an easy way to extend the IDE, not a overly complicated TThis TThat TClass TConstructor TEtc interface. I HATE writing plug-ins for delphi - i.e. open tools API. It is way over my head, just to write a simple plug-in. This is more important than anything integrated - ease of use. > > > > I think the current Lazarus architecture should never be pluggable or > > turned off.

I've searched for this article for a few months and never found it. Can you point me to it? I want to see how complicated or how easy it is to write a plug in that way. _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
