- All these stages are planned ... and more in fact. All the
- discussions seemed to focus only on callback's source code.
- MUIBuilder will support a complete boopsi object construction kit
- (in fact most of the boopsi manager is completed currently)
- which will provide some features like method and attributes
- definitions, inheritance definition and so on ...

- I don't forget the rapid application development either ... In
- fact when you'll define a new application in MUIBuilder 3.0, it
- will automatically add some ressources to this application to
- obtain a standard built-in program (probably some menus, arexx
- ports, help texts, catalog file ... and so on : everything is still
- not defined ...). It's a good way (IMHO) to obtain a rapid
- development of a simple application.

- why definable menus ? I put these menus, and the generators (which
- are external boopsi objects) receive some methods when you trigger
- these menus. Then it will react according to the language the generator is
- supporting.
