On behalf of the well-known VFP-hackers Ed Leafe and Paul McNett, i take the initiative to forward their annoucement concerning Dabo, a 3-tier desktop framework for data-aware apps.

No knowledge of the product (i'm just both a regular reader of com.lang.python and UT). But the whole thing looks promising...

Hello Pythonistas,

Ed Leafe and I have been collaborating on a new 3-tier framework
for creating cross-platform data-aware applications. While it
is still quite alpha, we decided to go ahead and announce it to
get a feel for what level of interest it would gather.

The product's name is Dabo, and it will let you create
data-aware desktop apps for distribution to Mac, Linux, Unix,
and Windows computers. It is written in Python and wraps
the wxPython widgets, which is why we are announcing it here.

Attached is the text of the complete announcement, but it is
kind of long. Please visit us at:

http://dabodev.com

and if interested in Dabo, consider joining one or both of our
mailing lists:

http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users
http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-dev

Only join the dev list if you think you want to participate in
dabo's development or monitor the daily source code commit
traffic and ensuing discussion.

Thanks!
