Make it real simple when you can

Lots of emails lately on the compstrm-wiki list. James has joined the project and has started to contribute. He's a graphics artist who wants to learn java. He's picking up NetBeans and has been busy installing subversion on his Linux system. And it looks like we're going to have lots of fun working together.

I now have html content displaying in forms. And there is now a Cancel button on forms as well. Next will be checkboxes.

But I was struck by a thought today. Since rolons can now hold web pages (as html), why not just display that content unless a user has logged in. This gives us full control over what a web surfer sees. Its just HTML content with resolved wiki words. Only when you login do you see that its a wiki. And only if you select an advanced user interface model do you get to see all the advanced stuff for configuring applications.

Feels right.

Bill
