(See what i meant when i was saying war, Don ?)

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).
