I think the first place to start is in purposeful function libraries. For example, a realestate themed, or AJAX themed lib.inc etc.. The goal of a framework is not that much different only adding complexity with having to learn a framework API. I don't know that we need that complexity right now. One of the most marketable things with WebDNA solutions is it's ability to affect the end goal quickly (because of it's syntax and tool set). That is the end goal of a framework anyway. I always want to say to my client with the most obscure requests... "Yes", we could do that. Though a framework may help with some projects, once learned.. I think it can also hinder the versatility that WebDNA innately has. Anyway, perhaps a framework is in WebDNA's future, but I don't see it happening until we have more contributions with function libraries and open source (or available) code to get the ball rolling. my .02¢ Donovan -- Donovan Brooke Euca Design Center [Practical-Ethical-Efficient] www.euca.us egg.bz artglass-forum.com
