Thoughts on Kevin's announcement

[Jerry Daniels]

Robert,

We are looking at all of the frameworks. We started exploring SproutCore a few weeks ago.

With respect to Rodeo, we want to keep our app pages as lean as possible, so use of frameworks will by necessity have to be discrete.

Sarah and I have been tuning the Roadmap to bring the release date closer. Having fun with this.

Best,

Jerry Daniels
