Re: widgets plan proposal

The good
========

I didn't like the '.impl' name because it's an abbreviation.  ('.lib' is a
common enough abbreviation for it to be more politically correct.)  So I
like that this has become '.theme'.

The bad
=======

I liked having it all under xwt.standard.  Then you had xwt.html, maybe
xwt.util, perhaps xwt.richtext, other various useful subdirectories.  You
got where you were going and you got there quickly.

Changing xwt.standard to xwt.widgets, maybe... it's a more descriptive name.

I also liked the way Rod and I work on a system where the 'behaviour' xwts,
the non-widgets, are split from the actual widgets.  It makes it easier to
browse and find what you want, quickly.  This is just as, if not more
important than abstracting out 'menu' sub-widgets.

The ugly
========

Andrew Kohlsmith's beard.  And I've only seen a photo - think of poor Rod
who sits next to him day in, day out.

On a more serious note, I'd like to wait to see the discussion go on a bit
more before suggesting anything different.

For me, personally, the 'proposed' is not ideal, too much is pushed into too
few directories.  And it skews the context of 'xwt.' for the other
directories currently beneath it.
