Cool, it seems that except Koen (he's the only one really working it
seems ;-) everyone is planning to go or willing to go, great!
I will together with Peter write an email to Robert Kehrer, and see
what we can organize. I'll keep you all informed on the results.

Definitely, let me think about it this weekend, I had those plans for a
long time and of course have quite some code from the different apps
I've created. I need to get back into the framework anyway, so I would
like to give it a try and come up with something as a basis to start
with... It would include the custom view as well.
Cheers,
Alex

Windows is a 32-bit patch to a 16-bit shell for an 8-bit
operating system, written for a 4-bit processor by a 2-
bit company without 1 bit of sense.
