[Seaside-dev] Porting RSRSS2 in VW

The "your" and "cincom" versions are more like pre vs post automation. 
The importer rules are based directly off the Squeak code that exports 
from Squeak to VW XML fileIn format.

The Squeak compatibility layer and various overrides are removed/updated 
to make it more compatible with VisualWorks and ObjectStudio (in 
theory). The port of Seaside is a direct port from squeaksource to store 
- there is no Cincom-fork of Seaside for us.

I think Alan put more emphasis than was intended. There are no plans 
here yet.

Eventually, yes. That will hopefully be reasonably transparent to the 
Seaside framework.

Right, on top of the Opentalk-HTTP server by default. We're going to 
provide Swazoo and WebToolKit adapters to help people migrate - or if 
they want, they can stay on WTK or Swazoo.

That is definitely a goal. There is a lot of interest in the 
ObjectStudio community to run Seaside as well. So the more people we can 
help use Seaside, the better.

Documentation - exactly what that means we're still working out. 
Tutorials, Commercial support. There may be some other surprises we can 
slip in - we'll see if we have the time.

We're working to rectify this. We're also considering how we could 
publish back to Squeaksource from VW. No promises there.
