Anyway, it's a huge amount of work to do.
This is exacly what I have done with edgar (http://code.google.com/p/e17mods/wiki/Edgar) It is a module that load edje file as modules, this edje files that i call 'gadgets' can be downloaded from the net without problem and can be very powerfull. You can see some 'gadgets' I'm workin on at http://code.google.com/p/e17mods/wiki/Gadgets Edgar is (and will be) more powerfull than simple edje file as you can send signal from embryo to edgar for doing advanced stuff (like save config values and execute shell command). Give a look at Edgar as probably we need to discuss some security issue ;) Dave > -- > Cedric BAIL > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, > Nevada. > The future of the web can't happen without you.
