Donovan, the "WebCatalog" era is over. WebDNA is not a set of eCommerce = applications, but a language, a modern and flexible one, the only one in = the world (as far as i know) that includes its own powerful database = system. It is almost limitless in its interaction with webpages = server-side or even client-side, interweaving with html5, css or ajax. I = don't understand why you seem to be stuck with this old set of limited = applications. To me, WebDNA is much more than that... Sorry about the misuse of the term "deprecate", but i guess i made my = point anyway. - chris On Feb 25, 2012, at 10:56, Donovan Brooke wrote: > christophe.billiottet@webdna.us wrote: >> Exact, and we will not deprecate them, until everyone here agrees to = go forward: we will just undocument them, so newcomers will not be = trapped with these relics. >>=20 >> - chris >=20 >=20 > Our entire language is a relic if you want to put it into those terms. = ;-) >=20 > Nobody I know is trapped with the commerce tags.
