texte = Well, this was just that WebDNA, as a web scripting language, is far far behind the others in terms of number of active servers and sites. If you check a php site, there is nothing different between it and any other html site, except for the .php suffix that makes it immediately identifiable: "ah! this is another php site" ;-) PHP too can use any other suffix (just a matter of mapping it) but the default suffix is .php and it seems everybody is satisfied with it. Same with .asp The suffix identifies a technology, and we, WebDNA users, decided to hide our technology. I guess this is not a very good idea if we want to make WebDNA a winner product... chris On Sep 17, 2008, at 12:58, Tom Duke wrote: > Hi, > > Have to say that I agree with Dan. > > I would certainly support setting .dna as the default suffix - but I > like the fact that my sites are not clearly identified with any > technology.
