I use: * VMime (to send emails) * cURL (for downloading) * GraphicsMagick (to manipulate images (resize and format)) * RapidXML (to XML parsing) I think VMime *is essential* because almost every site needs some time to send emails. GraphicsMagic is *very important* because in the uploaded images is very common to have to change the size of an image (currently digital cameras create more than 6mb pictures with 2816x2112 pixels, which is impractical to display on a website) (I test ImageMagick, but choose GM). cURL is also important to grab files on other sites. I'm not using, but I think important to integrate *7zip* to compress files on the server. I know that a person does not always use all these resources in one site at the same time, but it is very likely to use sometime, somewhere. I also thought about plugins, something like "gems" from Ruby on Rails, but I think these features (that I talked about) are very essential for most people and they already exist, need only embed into Wt. I think that plugins would be new features that do not yet exist, for example, I made a website that reads information from various Twitters, add to the database and displays on the site, I think this might be a plugin for those who want to display Twitter messages on your site. * One question, Wt is ready to plug-ins? What is the standard for creating plugins for Wt? * I remind you that the fact that RoR, allow the creation of plugins, made this framework to grow enormously!!!

I think the Boost Wt would have few and excenciais resources that would be updated rarely (1 time per year), for example the libraries I use have excellent and stable versions for over 3 years. On the other hand, the plugins created by the community would all be versioned and tested (by its creator) on the latest stable versions of WT, similar to the Firefox add-ons. > On the other hand, well documented "How-to use XYZ library with Wt" > information with code examples might perhaps be just as valuable ? I totally agree, I will create an example with these features and explain how to use them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable. Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes sense of it. IT sense.
