[Seaside] Seaside Development. What goes on behind the scenes? What are the next steps?

[Derek Brans]

Julian,

I'm looking at doing security just for Seaside for now, since other, 
more qualified people are doing it at the Squeak level.

I am interested in exploring Cees suggestion of using capabilities.  I 
need to read more about the concept, first.

Let's stay in touch.  We can always design separate packages, but it 
might be interesting to work together.
Derek
