! <h1><a name="2.1">2.1. When is the next release</a></h1>
! <p>Because this project is opensource and most developers are working on this in
freetime, it's very hard
! to put a deadline on things. The main idea is "it's done when it's done". It's
understood that a previous
! release sometimes looks very outdated compared to the latest snapshot, but that's
just how it works. You are ofcourse
! free to use the daily snapshot but as stated at some places it's code which is under
development; meaning that if it works today
! it might be broken tomorrow, something which won't happen in the release (if it's
broken tomorrow, it was also broken today :-).</p>

+ <h1><a name="6">6. Doing advanced things</a></h1>
+ <p>After reading the tutorials and looking at the examples you might be able to do
+the most basic stuff, but
+ if you want more there's not much documentation available yet. The examples and
+widgets should provide you with
+ enough information on how to do more advanced stuff, but for now there's no real
+method reference available. A Developers reference
+ for the Dynacore is available which is for maybe 10% different from the official
+DynAPI, and this will be converted into a DynAPI2 reference
+ somewhere in the future (hopefully NEAR)</p>
+ <h1><a name="6.1">6.1. Limited Javascript knowledge</a></h1>
+ <p>"I want to use the DynAPI but have limited (or no) Javascript knowledge"<Br/>
+ <br/>
+ Sadly you'll need Javascript knowledge in most cases. You might get something to
+work using copy-and-paste development, but once things
+ go wrong it will become difficult to fix things. At this time there are no
+development tools available for the DynAPI, but hopefully this will
+ change in the future, making it possible to do WYSIWYG development.</p>
+
+ <h1><a name="6.2">6.2. Load external content into layers</a></h1>
+ <p>"How can I load external pages into dynlayers". <Br/>
+ <Br/>
+ The only way to do this is by using the LoadPanel widget, this provides
+ functionality for loading URL's into a normal DynLayer. The LoadPanel widget should
+be supplied with your DynAPI2 distribution.</p>
