RE: Magritte book

"Magritte – Meta-Described Web ApplicationDevelopment" is not a book. but its Lukas's Masters degree thesis work. The thesis documents the the design and overall architecture of magritte, the benefits of magritte and what problems it solves, this is not going to be updated (i dont think ) as it is not inteded to be a book for magritte, but this document will give you a good understanding of the overall architecture and design decisions made in designing magritte . The wiki would be a good place to have up to date information and current documentation, up to date class names etc Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2007 10:41:58 +0200From: matthias.berth(a)googlemail.comTo: smallwiki(a)iam.unibe.chSubject: Re: Magritte bookI think that an "errata" or "comments" page is an excellent idea. How about a wiki page on http://smallwiki.unibe.ch/smallwiki/pier/ and a hint on http://smallwiki.unibe.ch/smallwiki/pier/pierfaq/ ?

Okay. But then #year: isn't a method in Date either. :(It would be nice if Pier/Magritte/Seaside had current documentation.Would it be possible, reasonable to put up an OO.org doc or some such ofthe original book so that it could be kept up to date by the community?I know this is asking a lot. But I also hate to ask Lukas to do all ofthe work by himself.I don't know exactly what would be the best process for community stewardship over material like this. But it would be nice if we had anexcellent place to start. And I think this book is. It would be nice ifit was current with the current favored images.If this isn't doable for whatever reason, I certainly respect Lukas' wishes concerning his material and authorship. Next best thing until adifferent book or such material came out would be an excellent erratapage for this book.Lets make choosing Squeak/Seaside/Pier as easy as possible. Any way, some thoughts for consideration.Thanks.Jimmie_______________________________________________SmallWiki, Magritte, Pier and Related Tools ...https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/smallwiki _________________________________________________________________ Discover the new Windows Vista http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=windows+vista&mkt=en-US&form=Q…
