Why is Konfabulator "Pretty?"

Bill,

I am with you on this. I am a graphics guy from way back and all of  
my stacks have a heavy graphics UI. But, some on this list are just  
not that interested in that aspect when programming an app. They are  
into the inner guts and they do it very well. When they need a  
stylish face then I'm sure they are then interested but probably not  
for a large percentage of their work. But they are the ones whom I  
turn too after my graphics are done and I need to solve some lower  
level coding issues.

We have here on this list enough from both camps to make this happen.  
But first someone needs to believe in it then a group of us need to  
scope it out and build some samples. Once that is done we can build  
some templates and provide a nice interface for the kit.

I do think with the recent announcements from Rev that if we provided  
the framework that Rev would pick it up.

I do feel this is within our power to do and I for one would want to  
be involved.

Tom
