Foil 32 SPW and Window Clutter

From Tango Futures: XML for Web-based Collaboration and Distance Education SURA Meeting Birmingham Alabama -- September 8 1999. by Geoffrey C. Fox
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
