IMHO I think that the widgets that are included provide a good example of how to do widgets, so if you would want to keep them as examples, if nothing else, I think that would provide the reader with some good information. I personally learn best by example, and once I get the basics out of the way I can do a lot on my own.
So my personal recommendation would be to keep the current widgets, and I think that the development team should make sure that they are updated to work with whatever the current version of the Dynapi is. I think they also make fairly decent test cases.

But as of yesterday, one fundamental issue may change the structure of the documents. "To Widget, Or Not To Widget" That is the question. It seems that most of you are eager to get rid of the widgets as part of the official distro, while others want to keep them for testing purposes, still others want to keep them and expand on them as fundamental building blocks. If we will scrap the widgets, there is no point in documenting them. And if all of you are just going to sit around and wait for Dan to release his new set of widgets, than also there is no point in documenting our current widget set. Because our own widgets will never be maintained after Dan's release. It is not fair to expect one person to do all the work, and I can see why Dan would want to charge for it. I just don't see how Dan will protect his hard work, by creating generic widgets that could look very similar to others who had the same idea, but that is for Dan to worry about. We as a community need to decide: Do we want widgets with our distro??? Once this issue is resolved, I will continue with the documentation. Hopefully with some help. ... _______________________________________________ Dynapi-Dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
