Re: Mozilla Windows CE Development

Doug,
There is another effort going on - Mozilla SVG, wherein they propose to 
create much richer (in terms of looks ) UI. Of course, all this via XUL 
too. Will that be something that would be thought of for minimo ?
That said, I think WTL will (if not anything else) will make the code 
size smaller and the RSS competitive. I haven't looked at the code 
thoroughly, but will share my thoughts once so.
What do you think about this ?
