You know what I would like to see; An array of well-wanted services integrated into Tapestry from day one. Generic download of anything, sure, it's there. Send-an-email; well, of course we have it. Et.c.
Maybe Someone could make something like those eclipse guys did with EasyEclipse distributions, just bundle the best of breed into one download. Hmm.. OK, yes, I know. The old argument which is a version of " I don't wan't to be tied into the strict confines of a hig-level lanuage! You can do all you want with assembler! And macros too!" My point is this; You don't have to eat the peas even if they're on your plate. For veggies (newbies) however, it would help a lot not to have to track stuff down, or break a neck getting a service to work the first time (then, neck finally healed, getting Kents bok and copying it right off, maybe understanding it in part a month later), rather than just using an in-system readily available one. <ducks> Cheers, PS On 5/17/06, Michael Lake <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I'm *very* interested in seeing such a service. I want to keep in line with using all of tapestry's i8n and be able to send multi-part mime messages which have html and plain text. Please do put something up on the wiki and let us all know. goody goody. -mike Henri Dupre wrote: > I don't agree on this...
