[REBOL] Re: Widgets

Hi John,
jmca> OS X provides pop up user utilities called widgets which reside in a
jmca> "dashboard" (see http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/dashboard/)
jmca> Yahoo! have recently released a similar widget system for both Windows and
jmca> OS X (see http://widget.yahoo.com/)
jmca> It would be fairly trivial to write a similar tool in rebol...
jmca> What does everyone think to this idea?
RT is aware of this toolkit, and others like it, along with the value
such a toolkit might bring to REBOL. The Yahoo widget tool used to be
called Konfabulator--which I think started the trend that Apple
integrated into OSX. Konfabulator was recently acquired by Yahoo.
I'm anxious to see how many others think this would be a good thing
for REBOL. It will take some work on RT's part, so it needs to be
prioritized; which means we need to know how important it is to
people.
