About Tcl/Tk: surely the less stable thing (how many versions ?) But, god, how strange and beautifull things they do with !! (have a look at the TKrat mailer) About WWW: Have a look at the www configuration interface of BSDI3. (Even discovering it, i was able to impress 2 or 3 Wxx guys around) Seeking for new looks : Take 1 minute looking at 'gv'. It was the first time i stopped to one, wondering why it looks like other and why it hav e a so different feeling. About JAVA: How many of us have disabled it in order to have Netscape not looping at the end ? About KDE: how different from Motif & CDE ? About Enlightment: The great return of Next, Amiga, etc.... (toy story and SF) About fvwm: MotifowinNT95 !! Where is imagination ? Let's change mind: Everybody take X-Forms (it a have a nice rapid protypeing tool) and build a screenshot for a Network configuration pannel. We will see if we can do a *NEW* thing. If yes let's proceed, if no, lets follow the (commercial) leaders (www or Java stuff). To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
