Welcome to the party. A big welcome to all the other people that have joined
lately too, the list membership is growing at a good pace.

Walt, it would probably be helpful for you to list specific problems you see
with a pure zwiki or pure desktop app approach and specific features or
requirements for an "ideal solution". Then, even if we don't have those
features yet, they will at least be identified so we can decide if and when
to incorporate them into PythonCard.

Remember that this is open source, so all ideas are welcome. There isn't a
big design document sitting on a project managers desk somewhere saying this
is what PythonCard should look like a year from now when we press the discs
and ship to retailers.

Instead, each release is usable as is, but until we have a "1.0 API" the
framework is pretty fluid; after 1.0, the framework will probably be pretty
fluid too, but that will be the next generation and everyone that wants
stable can use 1.0. The samples are supposed to stress the framework and
show how to use it effectively and they are updated as the framework
changes.
