Mock-ups are great, templating is great if it simplifies the code, doesn't pull in huge run-time libraries and doesn't reduce performance significantly, but I strongly object to anything that makes Freenet unusable without Javascript enabled. Some of our users really are staking their freedom, and turn off javascript accordingly since it is a vector for a great many bugs. Admittedly they are naive to do so give the current state of Freenet security, but we shouldn't make a bad situation worse. Or their systems are slow. Or they are completely blind and find lynx with a screenreader the most convenient solution. Etc. GWT can be used to update real HTML in-place. Any design you can build with widgets you can build with HTML and then "animate"/live-update by changing the HTML. Our current web-pushing code does this. It is disabled because of bugs/architectural issues. IMHO we should fix these issues and then enable it. That would also solve the problem with the minimalist theme's use of activelinks. > > > Ian. > > > > 2010/9/17 Clément Vollet <cvol...@gmail.com>: > > > Le jeudi 16 septembre 2010 22:14:49, cvol...@gmail.com a écrit : > > >> Hello all, > > >> > > >> Just to ask: is there anything new regarding the new ui? > > >> > > >> Regards, > > >> > > >> Dieppe > > > > > > Ok, if noone is working on the ui in gwt, I'd like to step in (I won't > > promise > > > anything this time though), since I have some time free and I want to > > play > > > with GWT.
