XWT Li -> Ibex Ni

I do lament that lithium was dropped prematurely in favour
of nitrogen since that has made it virtually impossible for
anyone to start using XWT for any serious project. I for
one have been looking for full functional table widgets
and gave up on getting them to work for lithium.

Anyway it is exciting that Nitrogen and Alpha3 widgets (with
tables) are fast approaching release. I'll be keeping up with
the mailing lists again.

Speaking of mailing lists I really think it is necessary to
close the users list to anonymous posting. The reason I dropped
of this list last year was all the spam that it attracts and
still gets! It's not that hard for anyone interested to join
the list. I doubt very much closing it to members only would
loose any serious punter to XWT (Ibex). (Adam are you
listening? :-)

When I first heard of the name change to Ibex I didn't like
the term and couldn't see what was wrong with XWT. But now
I'm getting to like it. XWT was difficult to pronounce and
doesn't have a nice animal to go with the O'Reily book :-)
