Stef,

It sounds great, and I will indeed help where I can.   I also have some code 
(see separate plea for help re gofer or any non-mc way to upload files) that 
might help.  If you have past me in some areas, WONDERFUL.

I'm on the mend from a bug last week, so I'm not 100% just yet (feeling much 
better though).  More to come.

Again, one thing that I would really like to see is the ability to deeply nest 
MVP triads.  Layout has been the hardest part of getting that to work.  You 
seem to be on good ground in terms of connecting models.  MVP is tough on 
newbies (we never understood why that is), but very much worth the effort.

My goal has been to create an MVP infrastructure with "just a little Seaside" 
feel to coding.  Don't ask why, but I think that would be a nice fit with 
Pharo, and would allow us to defer what should be a long-term goal of making a 
view editor.   With very good coding idioms, we can defer the editor w/o losing 
much (I think).

Bill

I would love that :)

Spec so far:
        Models based on valueHolder
        to reuse widgets configuration AND logic

        declarative specification of UI

Next steps
        - Support more widgets:
                - combox
                - drop box

        - start to rewrite most of the UI with Spec
                - file list
                - changesorter

        - boostrap a UI Builder
                - first steps a spec presenter
                - then a click and place

        - add present like prototype idea propagation
        - Get more people helping/using/...

Stef
