Re: New project
I, for one, would really appreciate that change.

Re: New project
Just a factual correction: I neither said there would be a prototype- based object model, nor did I say there would be dot syntax. What I did say was that: 'the current idea of objects in Revolution is more akin to prototypes than classes' and 'dot-notation was exceptionally good at naming things (in a namespace)'. From these two things I then continued to suggest that: 1) it would make most sense for Revolution to go down the prototype- based path (rather than the class-based path) 2) it would not be a bad idea to start using dot-notation to help organise resources in projects Warmest Regards, Mark. -- Mark Waddingham ~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ http://www.runrev.com Runtime Revolution ~ User-Centric Development Tools ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: New project
Mark... Thanks for the correction. I was oversimplifying in the interest of brevity.
