<trolling> We need something thin, like OFBiz! ;-) From a strategic point of view I think that Dojo has a lot of inertia developing in the Java community and that is going to pay off for us. Everyone with any sense knows that Ruby is doomed to be subsumed by the unstoppable Linux+Java stack since no one seriously believes that Linux+Ruby is a viable adversary against Windows+.NET. </trolling> Actually, this JQuery stuff looks intruiging. -- Ean Schuessler, CTO [EMAIL PROTECTED] 214-720-0700 x 315 Brainfood, Inc. http://www.brainfood.com
