Thanks for your message. And yes, I have been working on a video project. But I WILL be back, certainly to get in on all the A5 Web Application FUN. Here's something I had been planing on sending to Richard and Selwyn, but since you asked, I'll run it by you.
I LOVE the way that the Web Application Server has a buillt in HTML editor. But... to be honest... it's pretty bare bones, so I had to look for a replacement. Not just any replacement. A FREE replacement-- that I could give to my users for editing HTML email. I did a LOT of evaluations and... GREAT NEWS!
There is a fantastic open source HTML editor at Nvu.com. Check it out! It's a small download. Listen. I have both Dreamweaver and Front Page, and in some ways I like Nvu BETTER.
As a programmer, I can always tell good code from GREAT code by how fast the program works. This Nvu is one WELL WRITTEN program. (Open Source efforts usually produces these kinds of programs.)
The beauty of this IS... not only can you give this HTML editor away to your clients and users for FREE... (here's the part especially for Richard and Selwyn)... because it's OPEN SOURCE... it can be made part of the A5 WAS without cost to Alpha Software. You can take this well written C code, ADD the crutial A5 links and hooks that you already have written in C, AND suddenly, the WAS has a top-notch HTML editor.
Maybe for a future version-- just something to consider.
PS: Maybe in a few days this post could be moved to the "Features Wishlist" section,
