OK,
VID project is not progressing currently, mainly because ppl actually
able to produce quality code are just very few and doing other stuff -
remember, rebol is just hobby to most of us. As to certain work -
- resizing - pretty solid state - as for license - check with Romano,
last time he mentioned GPL to me, but maybe he reconsidered or you can
get some special conditions - I can't speak for him. ... or just - some
ppl prefer to write resizing method on their own ...
- tree-view - Cyphre - pretty solid imo - slowes down at some 3000 items
... I ordered Cyphre to do some cache system, but you will not see it
anytime soon imo ...
- menu, including context menu - finished, although I ordered some
features too, mainly to become more robust and system compatible (but
cyphre would have to reimplement pop-up handler)
- tabs - usable, non-buggy ... may slow down with more than X tabs, as
cyphre generates them all at once or so ...
That's all from my "coordinator" side (there is noone to coordinate ;-),
I will let subsystem authors to react themselves ...
cheers,
