Hai, Henk, Nico,
I won't copy all the comments since i think it will make it more confusing to read. My main goal in trying to say there are 2 views was to make the discussion more clear on why you propose what you did. You seem to point out its more complex and its not the reason why you will allow multiple frameworks but with compatible components. Since it seems to make in more confusing ill drop this way of explaining it.
Let me repeat myself i fully support the plan and think its a great starting point, I agree with Nico that you want applications in java but i personally like to bring them to the frontend using taglibs. Im not sure yet where i start in the portal stuff but i fully agree that we need one for people who want to work in that model.
I don't fully agree with Henk in that there are many people who for example never used a ant compiler or changed a class file but who do work/change/rewrite taglib pages or add javascript, flash or other parts.
MMBase sofar was build from zero or reuse what you used before, this also means that by design it exclused alot of people if you don't have atleast access to a programmer. But i can see more people being able to change (on all levels) things in something like didactor. It might be just settings that change what components are on/off and in what 'mode' or changing stylesheets. For others it might be changing a few simple jsp's or adding some views (these small html parts) they don't all need to have the same level of programming and i for one think its our task to think about it.
Nico i tried to explain the 'why' i guess i failed, can you give me a idea of how you think this will evolve over time ? Do you feel we will merge to one
framework over time ? Daniel. _______________________________________________ Developers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.mmbase.org/mailman/listinfo/developers
