State of Niwi 2

Well, this SON (State Of Niwi) is a little less positive than I 
originally hoped it would be.  Still, progress has been made and will 
continue to be made.

I've really gone over and over the important engine widgets (clickable, 
focusable, electable, redirectable) and even created another help 
template (xwt.util.list).  Aside from typos and theoretical idiocy, they 
are in a very good state to be built upon.

The not so great news is that I haven't really tinkered with Nitrogen. 
Whilst warming to the syntax changes and adapting quickly to them, I've 
yet to delve fully into the new layout behaviour.  It's very different 
to Lithium and will take some getting used to.  Not having an updated 
binary until Tuesday didn't help either but that's me making excuses. :)

I'm out all tomorrow (something I forgot earlier in the week) so I won't 
be able to do button/check/radio like I wanted to.  I'm also not going 
to have too much time next week as I move into my new home (yay!) and 
have to scrub it up from a decorated-by-an-old-lady dusty retirement 
home into a stylish contemporary shag pad.

Anyway, those basic widgets are on my agenda for next week.  By the end 
of next week, the core should be bigger, better, stronger etc.  I'm 
confident that the SON3 will be accompany more tangible progress.

There is one 'uh-oh' pot hole in the road ahead; the text widgets.  The 
only hope of mine is that David resurrects himself and nitrofies the 
text widgets - we could be in a pickle if he doesn't or somebody else 
doesn't take over his mantle.

Everybody direct positive vibes at David!  *We love you David!*  And 
also at my pet rabbits who go under the knife tomorrow - from boys, to 
men, to eunuchs, poor sods!  *We love you, rabbits!*
