The websites you mentioned are (IMHO) pure crap. Web based forums are inconsistent, uneasy to read, and they just tend to lower the audience level. Use nntp. I used the FLTK web interface maybe once or twice just to do some searches, and it seemed good enough for that. But with nntp or gmane.org at hand, it's pointless to do any better. > With it FLTK.org will not look like crazy indie project but rather like a > "mature, spreaded WWWorldwide library".

Wonderful staff, probably one of the best I've ever seen for any OSS/GUI toolkit out there. Small but knowledgeable community. No crappy unmaintained wik: there's solid, true documentation. Those that nobody wants to write. Those who don't choose FLTK because they think the web page suck will only moan about the need for yet another ultra-fancy theme engine so that their application look "totally unconventional". Let those build Web2.0 sites with AJAX directly, instead. </evil> _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
