I recently watched the keynote I'd recommend all to see it at
http://laszlo.sys-con.com/ . I have some questions to those who
could
perhaps answer. Will webtop be ported to the dhtml runtime ?
Webtop is being ported to lps4.x. As a `power user` we hope it will
help to shake out bugs in lps 4 for both runtimes. The OpenLaszlo
team is working closely with the WebTop team to make this happen.
This would
really improve the dhtml performance, and bring some nice well tested
components. I'm not talking about releasing the apps, but I
believe for the
quality of webtop and laszlo the components could be released open
source,
like you did with laszlomail (the texteditor component for
example). and
tested by the community as well. As well as development
methodologies, and
data manipulation things and good examples of professional
openlaszlo usage.
These could give developers some good base to start with, because I
believe
there are many ways to do things but good, professional examples help.
I can't comment officially on this part of your question, perhaps
someone from Laszlo will. But, it makes sense that 'substrate' will
move into the platform as the project evolves. This seems to be a
natural progression for open source based products.
