john, i fully understand not having a lot of time (i have 2 kids under 3). i also appreciate that the members and contributors of a project define the scope and definition of the project. i should not be defining the scope of your project. you are victims of your own success i am afraid.
to that end though, i have only 1 choice to move forward: i am going to write my code from the 1.0b3 base since i do not want to start from scratch. then i will submit it to the project. you can do with it as you please at that point. steve ----- Original Message ----- From: "John York" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, February 02, 2004 12:06 AM Subject: Re: [displaytag-devel] Editable fields with display tag > I think the problem with us not implementing this is that we are all > terribly busy with other commitments right now.
