boards together for what, four or five years now? I know where you stand.
;^)
Although just to be clear the menu code itself is actually under the LGPL
license, not the GPL. We've been granted a "commercial license" from the
author (at our request). I think the real bug here is that I didn't update
the original code from the original download package so it still says GPL -
the devil's in the details.
For what it's worth I actually used to spend a lot of time with various Free
Software Foundation folks (there offices were next door to a public internet
access center that I used to volunteer at). I still talk, irregularly, to
some of them. While I didn't (and still don't) agree with everything they
say I do have a lot of respect for them. I personally don't like the
"viral" clauses of the GPL (which is why I don't personally use it) but I do
try to honor it.
I had made a preview of the security system in use available on CF Talk. but
I can't remember about the application framework. Things are running by at
speed lately and I can't keep everything straight.
The whole menu thing in general is a pain - I arguing strongly against the
animation. The site is just so shallow to begin with and there's very
little cross-tree traffic - it's just not necessary in my opinion. But I'm
not paying the bills. Once this current glut of stuff is over I'm going to
try and squash the flashing issue.
The dev site was hosted from my home PC. the web server configuration was
optimized for development (not much caching). The production site is at
CrystalTech.
I get the horizontal bar in Firefox as well. it has something to do with
DIVs set to "width: 100%" but I've not quite figured it out yet.
Thanks for the time,
Jim Davis

Didn't you already publish a preview of the framework on cf-talk?
Anyhow, I was just trying to make a point in the assumption that you didn't
actually want to open source the application. I think far too few people
realize the legal consequences of using code from others, even if that code
is open source.
I should have picked my example better.
Anyhow, I have little to add for the site review. I don't think the font
size issue is that bad, but I really dislike the flashing menu. You should
take a lok at the webserver configuration, images and the like do not appear
to be cached in Firefox. For some reason I always have a horizontal scroll
bar, and you should run it through a validator.
Overall, it looks good.
