Active2 Dev Meeting Summary, 15 May 2002

Not much was decided but here are some things mentioned:

• templating systems were discussed but nothing decided. evaluation of Cheetahtemplate was mentioned and Ingo(?) said to look more into it
• what would be desired for a good template systems are:
  1. easy (which means easy-to-use for designers, not backend programmers)
  2. flexible (flexible as far as designing Web pages is concerned)
  3. I18N (should be easy to make internationalizable)
  4. mike: nice-to-have: 1. fast 2. renders nicely without template-expansion (that is, rendres reasonably well for web-designers who don't have the backend installed in a Web server and want to just look at the raw template-html-files with their favourite Web browser).
• we also encouraged people to add stuff to the wiki, especially drafts that are currently are only accesible via the list archives.
