I've talked with Tim's colleague and he'll be rocking up to the November meeting to show off this widget-based UI stuff. From what he outlined to me, it sounds quite interesting. For the October meeting I've also sorted out with Dj Walker-Morgan (one of our extracurricular LRUG speakers) to do a repeat of his talk from the NFJS Exchange about Netbeans as a ruby development platform.
<br><br>So, whilst my main concern, the October meeting, is sorted out, please keep the suggestions flowing, it's all good stuff. Speaking of which, I have a stikkit where I collect all this stuff for my own nefarious purposes (
e.g. press-ganging people), does anyone think there's merit to making this list a tad more public by putting it on the web-site somewhere? Might it help to make the process more transparent / open?<br><br>Muz<br><br>

I would be very interested in hearing about the widget-based UI<br>development, being as I'm just starting to look at a similar approach<br>to UI at work, so +1 for a talk about that.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Roland<br><br>On 9/27/07, Tim Cowlishaw <
