A keystone of anime and science fiction is starting to become real.
Thanks to Slashdot for the link.
I'm asking the community for a favor. There are several XUL editors out there, including the ones in MozDev's XUL category. I'm wondering which ones are the best, and for what reasons.
I, of course, am used to editing XUL by hand. But I can't expect the rest of my company to do the same, so I'll need to give recommendations.
I'd personally prefer comprehensive reviews -- either in a blog or on developer.mozilla.org -- over commentary here. Also, please don't look at this as a chance to toot your own horn: if you're the author of a XUL editor, I'd prefer you review other XUL editors and not say anything about your own. Let's be fair.
(Of course, Verbosio in the future may compete in this field, but I'd personally rather have Verbosio adopt editors, plural, rather than build from scratch.)
Screenshots with detailed captions are a BIG plus.
North America's been seeing some high temps. So dunk your cotton t-shirt into some cool water, wring it out, and put it back on.
Instant, and very cheap, air conditioning.
As a Boy Scout, I remember an article saying wet cotton draws heat away 30% faster than bare skin.
I had an idea this afternoon for a particular version of the <xul:wizard/> binding. Specifically, a wizard that would restrict what the user could do, and with descriptions, tell the user to do those things.
The idea is the wizard could guide the user through a series of steps, explaining how to use a particular feature.
If anyone's done it already, please comment here with a link. I'd like to see the example.
I've got a pretty good idea how to create a binding for it, and I might have something this evening. In my example, I'd simply stop command events from reaching the sample application. The sample application could reside in the same window, or in an iframe.

Gee, thanks. Glad I could not be of service.
UPDATE: Oh, now I can!

Cool.
Too bad I can't take any credit for it.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm scheduling a "Town Hall" meeting for 3 PM in UTC time. In San Francisco, that will be 8:00 am local time (Wednesday). Tokyo, Thursday at midnight. Paris, 5 pm Wednesday.
The location is #seamonkey.
Please e-mail me with any agenda items.

It's official, ladies and gentlemen. Start your compilers, and crank up the QA!
I'll schedule a meeting in #seamonkey soon. July 5 might be a bit too soon, though (right after a major holiday here in the USA). I'll give everyone at least a day's notice -- or watch the topic in #seamonkey for a scheduled date.
Please e-mail me with suggested agenda items!
