sigh, second day of groking someone else's pull request (this time the layout protocol changes by admich)
11:20:09
jackdaniel
luckily it partially coincides with my own /unfinished/ changes, so I will benefit from this (comprehension wise)
11:22:21

i also have some changes for theses problems, but at least at first glance, admich's changes seem more comprehensive and well thought out
11:25:55
scymtym
maybe we should all fork McCLIM and then (try to) re-integrate periodically instead of for each change
11:31:59
jackdaniel
either way, I hope that after this review I'll have a consistent theory about how things should work (hopefully supported by some kind of internal document)

n.b, I want to add a directory in documentation directory called Notes/, which has writeups (like the one I've made for presentation types), which may be future candidates for a documentation integration
11:33:47
scymtym
Notes/ seems good. in fact, we should probably add older writeups as well. like the boundary event stuff

scymtym: n.b the suspense is killing me. you were about to provide some motivation behind introducing a metaclass
11:40:10
scymtym
jackdaniel: you said different metaclasses for application frame classes were unacceptable, i said different metaclasses seem unavoidable since users can specify the :METACLASS option. i thought you would want to respond to that. before resolving the fundamental question, discussing more detailed aspects seems like a waste of time and effort
