Mailserver was down yesterday, so I don't know if this got through...

--------------------

Bfff there are so many thinks I'd like to comment that I don't know 
where to start. Whereas the concept is nice from a Software Engineering 
point of view, I'm not sure it is the best way to go IN THIS PROJECT and 
IN THIS MEDIA, where size does matter and speed does matter. I've had to 
rewrite my own widgets in the past and Its a pain in the ass, but 
sometimes I've also had to strip down the files of the DYNAPI because 
either the size or the performance of the whole project were unbearable.

Honestly, I haven't been able to build an opinion yet. If some of you 
want to discuss and develop a widget spec that works over the DynLayer 
structure and grows from there, great. I'll stay a little bit below you, 
doing the dirty DHTML stuff which needs to be done regardless of what 
you build on top of it.

Sourceforge allows to have several release blocks. What if I we totally 
split the widgets and the core files in two different release blocks ? 
Then it would be easier for some of us to keep with the core as well as 
some others build widget packs and mantain those. They could be released 
separately, and each widget pack release would specify in which DynAPI 
core release is it supposed to work.

I think this solution would allow for "8an-thinking" developers to start 
implementing their ideas as well as providing space for the new branch 
Dan is preparing, which could be released appart.

What do you think ?
