We have some GWT code in Freenet for web-pushing (live updating of image loading etc). It's buggy, but that's probably not GWT's fault. I'm not wedded to it; it's turned off by default due to the bugs; but using GWT in its full capabilities would certainly prevent us from having a no-javascript option. > > > C- struts+extjs > > I know very little about this. > > > We hope to have freenet devs ideas on it before starting anything :-) > > Yes, but please don't let one stubborn person prevent you from making > progress.

Unless it breaks the code for a large number of actively contributing users, and therefore costs us HUGELY. Which it will if there is no non-javascript support. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
