Hello Ross and Scott, thank you!
@Ross: I was actually thinking of doing a screencast showing the development of widgets using ant to build the widget skeleton. Time permitting, should I add a screencast tutorial section to the wookie incubator page? @Scott: Thanks for the tip. I will try a newer version of the wookie server to test the demo functionality. By now I am working with version 0.8. With this version I could not find a way to demo it.
