I assume Quanta is generating its dropdown menus of HTML attributes, etc, from a static file and not the XHTML schema. So, for instance, how would you create a new HTML, or XML rather, tag with attributes that could be handled via dropdown menus? Basically, how extensible is Quanta? > A little digging reveals: > > Quanta Pages: > http://quanta.sourceforge.net/ ... > > Also, is it true that M$ has patents on all sorts of > trivial .NET methods? Yes, it is. However, Mono has it covered: http://www.mono-project.com/about/licensing.html#patents I realize I am committing heresy here for praising something that Microsoft has done, but free means freedom to me, not religious zealotry. Microsoft has certainly copied good ideas from the free and open source software communities; Mono is simply doing the same. Summary: If you _develop_ software, check out Mono. You might like it.
