I am not a commiter, just a coder nothing prophetic for freenet. If our efforts to share code with Freenet community does'nt work, it would not be a technical problem for us, it would just be an ideological reframing. > let's see what the end result actually > is before criticising it. > > Nicolas - can you describe your reasoning behind your decision?

I can fill the decision matrix for you if you really needs. - Minimalist ui tools - poor production capacity in iterative mode, - developpers knowledge of Wicket, - capacity of using multiple UI with and without js (Lnyx, Web 2.0, Android, ...) are unfavorable compare to GWT We likes the concepts of Wicket, but in the case of a road to 0.8, GWT looks - for us - the less worst choice. 6 monthes to produce the entire UI is not impossible. With wickets i can't produce someting usable in 6 monthes Nicolas -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
