Description

« Hide

The welcome page on the Laszlo Explorer refers to OpenLaszlo 4.0, and says that it is a fully-qualified release. Wafflecone needs different verbiage here; is it a fully-qualified release, too? At least, we should update this text to be about 4.0.5.

John is in fact working on this bug, directly in the source.

I edited the copy to make it more appropriate for 4.0.5, but it needs to be vetted.

Amy, can you take a look at the text in which I described what this is for and our official position relative to dhtml -- in particular, are we recommending DHTML for production deployment? The answer is no, right? That will be 4.1?

Hi John,
Yes - it is the recommended platform for .swf development, and DHTML will come along in OL 4.1 (as you correctly state). I liked the paragraph!

Please replace these 2 sentences: "OpenLaszlo 4.0.5 is now the recommended platform for developing OpenLaszlo applications compiled to .swf format. If you've been holding back on OpenLaszlo 3.4, now's the time to move up. "

with this 1 sentence:

"With OpenLaszlo 4.0.5, there is no longer any reason to continue application development using OpenLaszlo 3.4."

Then continue with all of the existing text.
Also - one more change - under OpenLaszlo Depends on You - I don't see anything about being a contributor. Please mention that too - so ".... by contributing to the development effort, filing ...." It should link to the "be a contributor" page on the web (http://www.openlaszlo.org/cfaq). Thanks!
