[Seaside] Starting out

[Burella Juan M.]

Michael,
  We published a web widget toolkit which include basic controls such as
buttons, textfields, listboxes and others, called SmallFaces. Currently we
have a SFTable control and we are working in a DataGrid implementation. You
can find some documentation on installing and using in the Squeak swiki :

Cheers

Juan M.
