I agree that it's really mostly "done". (I'm not sure what other people meant by a +1 to an either / or question, but I suspect they mean they agree it's "done" too.;) Whether it's worth major surgery is really a question of whether there are people who have the itch to perform that surgery. If there are, that's great. If not, I think it's just fine to do only what's necessary to get a standlone version out into the wild. -- Martin Cooper There are a few other technologies I want to spend time looking at > once we get a release of Tiles.
