[Grok-dev] Re: SVN: grok/branches/ksmith_mcweekly-groklets/src/grok/ initial prototype

[Kevin Smith]

Hi Phillip,

Good catch, thanks for taking a look, it's cruft.

My initial goal was to allow these groklets to be traversable to save 
some code in ahah-style applications. I haven't actually used groklets 
this way yet, and it seems like everyone has their own approach to ajax, 
so there may not be a strong enough use case to justify BrowserPage.

Unless there's a show stopper in this implementation, I think I've come 
up with a way for groklets to act as viewletmanagers as well.

Kevin
