Very long smalltalk hacking session till 4am. We now have a working WebPane. A WebPane, as we define it, is a model representation of a rendered webpage. We can stick that WebPane in a View and drag is all around the screen and scroll the page.
What makes our browser stand apart from the other ones being developed in our class is our image rendering. We are playing with different queueing mechanisms for downloading images from the web. Our intial work has been based on image size prioritization. That and playing with the number of current threads running, has all added for a interesting exercise. Maybe at the end of the semester, when the other teams won't benefit from Raping and Pasting our code, we will open source our work and submit it to the squeak community.
FOAF updates: Trust rankings are now exported, making the data available to other users and websites. An external FOAF URI has been added, allowing users to link to an additional FOAF file.
