Re: Website TTG An alternative?

Actually, I don't see a need to make any great changes in the code. I like
it just fine! I think it's just a matter of a community of xywriters that
support each other and share ideas. For example, I have a great idea for a
neat idea/theme organizing tool that would work great in xywrite - I once
wrote a version of it in XPL - that I would love to give to the programmer
who would work with the code directly, and have it become a feature of
xywrite. Or, I could write it in XPL again and just let everybody have it.
