Hello,

  the first thing we need is an official website with up to date info. I
am making a bit of advertising for Smalltalk in my company and I wanted
to list all web framework. Iliad is the only one to not have an official
website.
  Right now we have :
        - http://smalltalk.gnu.org/project/Iliad : pointing to an homepage wich
does'nt exist anymore (the content displayed is some WiMAX japanese thing) ;
        - https://github.com/NicolasPetton/iliad with no life since 4 years ago ;
        - https://code.google.com/archive/p/iliadproject : same issue as the
first link ;
        - and 4 projects on SmalltalkHub which does'nt show up on google and
with very little content to help new users.


Back on code, my wishlist/needs are :

#Better integration of CSS
   We are able to cope with html and javascript in Smalltalk, why isn't
it the case with CSS ?
   We should be able to :
        - manage multiple css class for a widget without having concatene strings ;
        - list all css class used in an application and generate a basic css
file with default values provided by widget ;
        - maybe to have extensions to theme an app with Bootstrap or Foundation
(not really a need for myself as I am using PocketGrid, but I think it
would be great for advertisement).


#Simple way to add shortcuts
  I would like to allow the use of keypress shortcuts for navigation in
my webapps but for now what I tried does'nt seem to work, and a real
support in the framework would be nice.
  Maybe going as far as having an event listener with a full propagation
model.


#Update the version of jQuery used
  Just to be sure to avoid bitrotting and for showing that Iliad is
still alive


#Port to ZnServer
  Same thing as jQuery, it seems the way to go and maybe should give us
some easier interactions with other citizens of our beloved Smalltalk
realm (like Teapot).


#Better comments and more example right in the source code
  Self explaining, but we are clearly not on the quality level wanted by
the Pharo team.


  And there is some things that I would like to be able to do but don't
know right now if/how it's possible :

#Being able to generate and serve later a static version from a page
served by Iliad, the idea is that I am using Iliad as a private
application (protected by a password), but would like to be able to
publish some content done in the application.

#I can't found a wey to give the focus to an input field that I just
displayed after an user action

Regards,
Benoit
