Foil 26 SPW and Window Clutter

From XML and Shared Places on the Web XML Developers Conference Montreal -- August 19-20 1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Lukasz Beca, Marek Podgorny


Currently TangoInteractive produces a very cluttered desktop as each capability is invoked as a separate window
We build Java and JavaScript window managers to help out but doesn't seem right ...
SPW will allow one design more coherent systems using either frames or windows as appropriate
For instance, for distance education, one could put chat room, audio-video conferencing controls and whiteboard as separate frames of a single window
