1) This amount of debate and controversy is *exactly* why I was/am/will be
in favor of keeping R1 as close to R5 as possible. I think that these
conversations are good and valuable, don't get me wrong, but I think that
there is always the potential to distract from completing R1. :-/
I suppose I should have known better, but frankly I had no idea what
this would blow up into. It sure seemed like a simple idea. But
certainly not as important as our few other deviations from R5, like
the layout library.
But I really think this shows how important it will be to get
organized after R1 is out. There is a huge chance for things to really
go awry once the simple "make it like R5" mantra is no longer
applicable. Even though it seems like the Glass Elevator stuff has
played out, this goes to show how even simple things can become
complicated.
2) Having said that, what Chris said blends in nicely to the "design"
(ideas, really) that I was talking about earlier: BNotification wraps
BMessage and BMessanger to make a "Kit" (really this should go in the
Interface Kit, at some point). Send() sends the message to some predefined
mime type. By default, there is a Snarl-esque little popup view thing.
Maybe an icon in the deskbar and allows you to turn them on or off or go to
preferences.
What is funny after all this discussion and "controversy" what Chris
and you just described is exactly what I originally envisioned when I
started this thread. Though I agree the conversation was still useful.
Now moving to the GE list,
Ryan
