I'm labeling myself here, but I could definitely use an Avalon for dummies guide. I really dislike the whole "for dummies" line of books, but Avalon is complex enough (for me and other newbies, I think) that I'm willing to put my ego aside and say, yes, I need one. When looking over the Avalon site, I can tell I'm looking at something very cool, but I mostly don't have the experience figure out exactly why. This type of for dummies/hello world intro before jumping into "developing with Avalon" would be awesome. > - "guide to avalon internals" that is basicaly a description of tweety > to help people that want to either become avalon developers or write > custom containers 'n stuff. I'd appreciate this, too, as I like knowing how things work, but it depends on whether you want to bring more users into the fold (via "Avalon for dummies") or you want existing Avalon users to step up and start submitting more stuff (via "guide to avalon internals"). - Stephen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
