[Help-smalltalk] Iliad submissions

[Eli Green]

Hi everyone,

I've been playing with Iliad for a few days now and am very impressed  
with what I've been able to accomplish so far. I've implemented a  
relatively simple data grid / table view which seems like a fairly  
basic thing to want to include in the stock Iliad distribution. As  
such, I've given it the IL prefix but obviously will change that if it  
doesn't interest anybody. This is a sample use of the table to  
display / edit a list of companies:

                e build: (ILPagedDataGrid new
                        items: (self model companies);
                        columnNames: #('Name' '' '');
                        column: 1 renderWith: [:el :company | el html: company 
companyName];
			column: 2 renderWith: [:el :company | el a text: 'edit'; action:  
[self editCompany: company]];
			column: 3 renderWith: [:el :company | el a text: 'delete'; action:  
[self model companies remove: company]];
                        rowsPerPage: 5).

ILPagedDataGrid is a subclass of ILDataGrid so you don't need the  
pagination controls if you don't want them.

I envision this as a first step towards getting something similar to  
Django's administration web pages, but powered by Iliad and Magritte  
and maybe a handful of special class messages.

A few questions:
	1. Is anybody interested in this? I have no problems with whatever  
licensing it needs to be under.
	2. Is this the correct mailing list for this sort of thing? Should I  
be on an Iliad-specific list?
        3. Can this really be this easy? It seems like it ought to be harder.

Thanks,
Eli
