Re: [GNUe] forms XUL user interface / app example / phpforms

[Jan Ischebeck]

Dear Andre,

yes, currently I work on the XUL client. And lekma has also some code at 
hand.
A discussion about the next steps is still due to come.

No, it focus on the gnue-forms functions only, and doesn't aim to be 
some kind of AJAX framework.
Nevertheless you probably can reuse the appserver interface.

The XUL client is based on the webfrontend code (basicaly an html 
interface to appserver).
While the html is an uidriver plugin for gnue-forms. (at the proof of 
concept stage as Bajusz pointed out.)
Both have nothing in common.

If you have experience in writing XUL applications, please join.
