CONTRIB: GwanTed

[dfdezs]

Hi everyone! We proudly present this set of tools named GWanTed that
have been really useful for us, in the hope that they will be useful
for you as well. They allow you to use GWT, but with an interesting
twist: no GWT in the main page, just in the widgets. It would seem
irrelevant, but think of it: people who build web pages won't learn
GWT. It offers a lot of other things that you will discover in these
pages, for instance: a GWT flash player, error and data management,
widget settings support, etc, etc...

Why are we giving this away? Because we believe in the open source
movement. We think that, if you use GWanTed, it will be a great thing
for you, but also a great thing for us. It will help us improve, fix
problems and add functionality. It will help you build web pages using
our previous experience, and you will get cool charts. It's a win-win.

We want that everybody uses GWanTed. Please feel free to use it,
improve it and redistribute it, but please let us know. We're eager to
hear from you. Suggestions, ideas, missing functionalities, a dozen of
beers... You can send us what you want to

Sorry i've submitted a truncated post. Sorry

The problem with this technic is you break the strengh brings by GWT
has to know that we can now integrate easily web developpement into
java XP programming cycle and that it one of the key point to leverage
web developement at production for big applications.

Of course we Scriptaculous , Dojo ... are very powerfull

Prototype give you high level function that help to build directly
powerfull full javascript library of widget whithout using GWT.

For me GWT is the leader technolgy and tends to give simple rules to
well design web UI.

GWT is the futur !!!

Whatever , i really appreciate your very GREAT JOB.

The next week we hope to have a project home page with online samples
and more information.

We hope that you like our work and we are open to suggestions...

Thanks!!

GWT is great for developing new rich interface components and with it
you can develop your custom widgets easily.

On the other side, in pages already made, I think that GWT integration
isn't so trivial. A small step is needed. Currently, you can't use GWT
widgets directly in your pages, because you need to KNOW GWT (to build
an integration module). So, in a way, we're working for people that
don't need to learn java for create web pages, and like with HTML
objects (inputs, by example), it's easy to think about "portal
widgets". Web designers don't need to know intense javascript for
cross-browser compatibility, and there is where we can help... We hope!
;-)

With GWanTed, we have different focuses. We've tried to create a base
not only for creating web 2.0 apps with a bunch of out-of-box features
that we think that will make easer the construction, as well as
minimizing GWT's learning curve.
