Update: forgot to mention that Gerv made the whole attendance laugh and applaude with this great allegory of the Mozilla Foundation leaving AOL after the fall of Netscape
BTW, this poster was indicating the restrooms at FOSDEM

Nice, I really really like the way to present the presentation. That is sweet.
Could you elaborate more on what you did to the customizable toolbars.
And what can be done to help you in the r/st requests?
Can you not phone Ben and talk about this?
Thanks for showing us the presentation. Awesome.
Daniel, great slides! Now we have first-hand info on where Nvu is heading.
You've also mentioned possible PHP tags support. But there are other similar types of scripting languages that can benefit from their tags support as well. The first that comes to mind is JSP. Would it be possible to "plug in" other languages support via the same framework that PHP will be utilizing? If so, at the time when PHP support is released, can you publicize a way for interested people to do it? I know that PHP is *free*, but I'd like to be able to use the great web editor with other languages as well.
Looking forward to next Nvu test versions,
Walter
Jed: mozilla/toolkit's code for customizable toolbars was apparently not (I can be wrong; I could not afford spending hours studying that code) able to handle more than one "set" of customizable toolbars, each one being independently modifyable through an independant menu item. The toolbar buttons also always have to have a text attached, and that's not the case for format buttons in Composer. So I wanted the customize panel to show the choices "icon+text" and "text" if and only if text *is* available.
Basically, the two toolbars in Composer serve 2 totally different purposes. It was not acceptable from my POV to allow the user to drop the "ordered list" button in the main toolbar between "New" and "Save" buttons, or drop the "Print" button between the "increase font" and "decrease font" buttons. See what I mean ?-)
What does "r/sr" mean ? thanks.
> What does "r/sr" mean ?
r/sr - review/super review. That refers to Mozilla quality control procedures for committing code to code repository.
What's immediately next?
* Mac OS X version
En jours (ou semaines), ca fait combien, "immediately next" ?
Merci
Mozilla.org did not even announce Nvu's 1st release on its web site
Even with a short news on the side column... Right, it's not a Mozilla.org product, for the moment. So what? Does it help the spread of Mozilla or not?
I just noticed on mozillazine there is a news-item about your fosdem speech. So at last, they seem to know...
After pressing the next button on your slides, when I press the back button on my browsers (NS7.1, Firefox0.8), the slides don't go back.

I used NS7.1 and Firefox on Win98SE and at work NS7.01 on Win2K. It doesn't work on any of them.
Would there be a Microsoft logo or an AOL logo on the iceberg that isn't visible in Gerv's picture?
The "Fosdem slides" on Nvu are now also mentioned. and linked to, (since 29-02-2004) on the main webpage of FOSDEM:
