That's not what i meant. To understand my remarks you have to realize that though i am a commiter now i stil a 'user' of mmbase for the gratest part (allthough this is steadily changing). Therefore i know that one of the weaknesses of mmbase is that the best way to get to know the software is to study the apidocs and the sourcecode. I really beleve that mmbase should become more accassible which means that first there must be a real notion of what mmbase is. Constantly adding all kinds of nice bells and wistles dous not make this dream come any closer. Personnaly i am learning about all kinds of functionality currently in mmbase by accidently stumbling upon them. I think this is bad.
