The problem is that the arguments for property tag boil down to "That's the way we've always done it". I mean come on, we're not 80 year old grandmothers here. We can and do cope with change on a daily basis, and this one seems like a change that would make the learning curve easier and the code base more straightforward.
The property tag is a powerful thing, but perhaps TOO powerful, with too many potential side effects and usages. Better to have several tags with more focused functions which are easily documented and used. -----Original Message----- From: Rickard Öberg [mailto:rickard@;dreambean.com] Sent: Monday, November 11, 2002 1:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [OS-webwork] Re: Property tag (beating the decomposed horse) Jason Carreira wrote: > I think this type of break with the past is exactly what Xwork 2.0 > SHOULD be for.

Change is ok. Unmotivated change is not ok. It is not about having the most votes (I personally don't really like this counting business), it's about having the best arguments. Good arguments lead to better decisions, which will be better for the community. This is what Maurice is saying, and I agree. /Rickard ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Opensymphony-webwork mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/opensymphony-webwork ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Opensymphony-webwork mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/opensymphony-webwork
