[Ann] Meteoroid, a MVC framework for the web using Comet

> Hello, we are releasing the first beta version of Meteoroid, a Comet-based
> framework that
> runs on top of Seaside.
>
> The purpose of the framework is to  create "live" web application in a few
> steps, both at
> the low level and also using the existing value model concept. To use
> Meteoroid, it is
> recommended to know how to use MVC[1] and Announcements[2].
> Feedback, improvements and bug-reports are most welcome.
>
> Quick explanation:
> A Meteoroid page (which is both a View and a Controller) has between its
> component a div
> with a special ID. This div is bound to a model, which trigger changes by
> using an
> observer-like mechanism. Each time the model changes, an announcement is
> triggered and
> data being pushed from the server to the div. We are currently releasing the
> first
> version of the low-level API and we are working on the connection between
> the ValueModel
> hierarchy and the standard HTML widgets (text areas, radio buttons, lists,
> etc.).
