Hi Janko,

Nice to see your work on squeak... I just had a quick look on the 
website and I don't relly get the specificities of this framework 
compared to existing ones...

Can you give us more information on AIDA especially compared to seaside 
and also hv2 
(http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/squeak-dev/2007-April/115664.html) 
...

Are seaside and AIDA framework at the same level ?

or what AIDA is better for ? In which case would you consider using AIDA 
or seaside or HV2?

Is it efficient to deal with static web pages ?

I've seen that prototype and scriptaculous are integrated, do you use 
the existing packages on squeaksource ?

Thanks for your response and your work ;) It's always interesting to see 
alternatives...

> separation of presentation from domain, nice looking and bookmarkable 
> url links, with integrated session and security management and many more.

> It is also a mature one, running web apps in production since 1996. It
