That's interesting. From what I can see Michel is working hard
preparing a Seaside 2.8 release on VW including addon libraries. You
seem to be doing the same. Since Michel is not part of the Cincom
Seaside Team I wonder if there is any kind of connection between what
you are doing and what Michel is doing. Or will we soon see two ports
of Seaside for VW, one from Michel and one from Cincom? Michel has
also contributed a lot of patches to upstream that among other things
make sure Seaside works fine on VW. I haven't yet seen anything like
this from the Seaside Team at Cincom.

Cheers
