Hi everyone,

I just made a few improvements to the CSS for the wiki. It should be a 
good deal more readable now. Let me know.

OpenLazslo looks pretty cool. I think Stephanie actually mentioned it a 
while ago, I didn't look deep enough to notice the underlying language. 
I seems like the overhead on the applications is a little high, using 
700kB for the side bar buttons on the demo. I wonder if you could run 
it as a stand-alone flash app on a client machine, so the application 
bulk only needed downloading once. Looks like it uses XML for the data 
interface, another reason to move in that direction.

I'm too busy right now to really explore it, or work on the project, I 
may free up some time in June. Give me a few tasks in the tracker if 
ya'll need something. I could use to get some more defined tags around 
the search results so I can play with the CSS. Actually, should we be 
thinking now that the results should come out as XML and use a 
conversion with XSLT at this point? The XML schema might not be 
perfect, but moving that way would be cool.

Cheers,
Bear
