Do I remember it right, that the java-sources of the GUI-Server will be published with the final release of 1.0 ?

I go away for a while (due to a job) and look what happens!  Guiserver is awesome! I'm reading the code and it looks great.



One thing occurred to me while reading the code.



It would be cool to do more declarative style GUI programming. Similar to JavaFX , Laszlo, XAML, XUL, etc.   Except we can send s-exp to the server instead.  That way we should be able to do things like:



(canvas (width 500) (height 300)

  (window (x 20) (y 20) (width 100) (height 100)))



and send the whole thing to guiserver and it should do the right thing.



Just an idea.
