Herein lies comments of a new user so please read as
such...
Who owns/started webwork? Should they not have a say
in the general direction that this project is headed?
Is it just me or does the fact that it's called
WEBWORK, imply a coupling to the web? Maybe it was
named such because it WASN'T intended to be the king
of frameworks that works for every kind of application
under the sun. Maybe we all fell in love with it for
it's web useage and should leave as is (with
improvements of course).
If the changes are so great that you require a name
change, maybe you should consider a separate project?
I don't see why you would abandon the WebWork name and
lose all name recognition within the development
community, etc.
I may be biased because I don't do Swing. Sure
genericity is uber-cool but in the end, there's no way
you can convince me that the codebase would be as
simple/readable/manageable as if it were web-specific.
Our documentation is poor already (causing newcomers
to read code instead of docs for understanding), let's
not confuse it anymore by making it too generic.
