But if you ask "Who's gonna fund the development of that?" I am not so sure whether there will be enough takers. I have no idea what efforts we are talking about but I am assuming we would need some support for a specific UI toolkit built in, plus more (deployment support etc.). That looks like a fairly large undertaking. My 0.02 EUR. Kind regards robert
