Great idea. It looks like building a simple blog/RSS reader in XUL is a popular case study. For example, here's a line-up: * Macromedia MXML/Flex @ http://www.markme.com/cc/archives/003901.cfm * Microsoft XAML @ http://www.joemarini.com/tutorials/tutorialpages/xamlblogexplorer.php * Thinlet, SwixML @ http://tools.masukomi.org (see Caterpillar project) * Luxor @ http://sourceforge.net/projects/lopica (see jnlp-browser project; it's a blog reader, sort of) If there's any interest I suggest kicking off a XUL Grand Coding Challenge 2004 to build a simple app using your XUL toolkit of choice. One idea is to build a simple counter example app. See http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/luxor-xul/python/src/counter/chrome/startup/counter.xul?view=markup Another idea is to build a simple calculator example app. See http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/luxor-xul/python/src/calc/chrome/startup/calculator.xul?view=markup Let me know what you think and if you're interested in contributing an example app using your XUL toolkit of choice. - Gerald PS: Please post your comments to xul-talk. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
