Anthony or Uli: ... but internally it would still be some sort of global, even if it doesn't pollute the scripter's namespace for globals. Alain: I have no problem with globals that are internal to the OpenKard application. Anthony or Uli: Somehow I don't think the scripters care about our namespace. Alain: They don't care about the internal globals, but I for one believe that the user's globals be reserved for the user's globals. Its a small detail, granted, but we should try to make OpenKard as coherent and as simple as possible. Variables that the user has not declared, some of which should be changed (or else crash), should not be accessible to the user. Anthony or Uli: OTOH we could add UNDO for images and text into OpenKard itself, but this isn't much of a problem. If you can copy and paste, you can implement undo. We can do it more efficiently in OK. Alain: Wonderful. I believe that an infinite undo/redo feature is a major plus for OpenKard. It takes interface forgiveness to new heights! Alain: And it will, besides, force us to integrate a sophisticated backtracking system that could be exploited for some REALLY interesting applications. Recordability and agents come to mind.
