Thanks for this. I'll refer to it once it comes around on the guitar to unscrew the views chapter. - C On Tue, 2010-11-23 at 22:41 -0800, Mike Orr wrote: > On Tue, Nov 23, 2010 at 8:21 PM, Mike Orr wrote: > > On Tue, Nov 23, 2010 at 8:00 PM, Chris McDonough wrote: > >> On Tue, 2010-11-23 at 19

URL dispatch vs traversal

2010-11-23 Thread Mike Orr
I wonder if it would be clearer to to put the URL Dispatch chapter before Context Finding and Traversal in the manual. URL Dispatch seems to be simpler, and it doesn't require learning about the root object, context object, and context finding only to learn you won't be using them. It seems like UR
