For me, it's the "real world apps", *plus* the interest in porting GXP to other platforms, like C++, and Ruby. Personally, I'd like to add C# to that list. ASPX, like JSF, has its charms, but many .NET developers (including me) would like alternatives. I do find the zipscript YUI examples interest

I have committed my changes to xwork trunk, I will be testing more on Showcase and trying to write some integration tests as I go. If anybody else could help testing this, have fun :). If nothing is broken I will also commit the changes to the xwork branch. musachy On Sat, Jul 19, 2008 at 8:50 AM
