Hi John,

Thanks for the follow up.

The bottom line is that for the current contract that I am on, WO is plagued in 
two (of the same old)  areas:

1) Lack of developers.  As we all know, its a pretty tiny marketplace.  The 
people generally are top notch, but nonetheless for a large company they need 
from a risk management perspective to know that they can find people, whether 
current employees or run over a bus, find more interesting things to do in life 
- or whatever.

2) Lack of client side stuff.  I personally have steered clear of JavaScript 
since when Netscape first prefixed the name 'java' onto their client-side 
browser scripting technologies.  Nonetheless, for large companies and for 
internal-only back office operations, it is nice to be able to deliver 
quasi-native-desktop application working environments to folks within the 
browser with minimal risk to core functionality.  It seems that GWT is 
relatively mature now and is possibly a solution for the work scenario I am in.

I will also follow up with you off-list within the couple of days.  Again, 
thank you for the follow up.

- mike
