Koen as you probably well know, data modelling and as a result
database design are a pretty contentious topics.
I would prefer not to pull all that into this thread. So please allow me to
bow out here this time.

Well, since you asked.
Here are a few areas where core Wt needs serious love IHMO:
- Data Grids
Extjs has these feature-full grids that almost force you to use them.
How about an example extracting paginated data from a Wt::Dbo table
that actually has looks and features on par with Exjts.
Bonus points if it is also as simple to use.
- Good looks in general
- Better documentation
In my experience Witty looses out based on looks and documentation.
If I use standard Qt, Qtk etc controls, my controls look nice. Why should
Wt be any different?
Thanks for letting me state my opinion on your list.
Kind regards,
Maurice
