Can you explain what you mean by 'geometry management'? Do you mean 
management of form sizes/positions or something different?

Yep, we need to explain better the vision behind the db, biz, and ui 
"tiers". We need to show building an app from scratch: even if nobody 
ever does that in the real world anymore because of various 
builders/wizards, it would show the process of coding an application 
using the Dabo API, and explain the functions/properties/events used as 
the tutorial progressed. This was my vision for part of "The Dabo Book", 
which like other projects in stasis of mine never progressed much beyond 
the vision.

But, you say "automation": do you mean the automation the app wizard 
does, or do you expect automation from Dabo itself?
