Maybe I'm missing the point of this thread but I really like this para. from Huy. Webware has some great structural peices [Fun]FormKit,WebKit,TaskKit,Cheetah etc but it appears to be missing the smaller "plug in" components that make fleshing out a webapp easier : PollComponent - For easy creation / summarization of webpolls. CacheComponent - For caching in-page content with timeouts. ChartComponent - For creating table-based or jpg-based charts. AuthorizationComponents - Unix/NT/LDAP/ActiveDirectory authentication methods eCommerceComponents - Credit card processing etc. CalendarComponent - For displaying calendars (ok, Aaron may have this one covered) ..well, the list goes on... >From my perspective sharing of components like these is more important than sharing >"structural" code. Of course, I'm a webware hobbyist and don't use it for significant >or public sites and I'm not offering any insight on *how* to write these plugins. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The debugger for complex code.
