OK, I'm trying to get approval for making Web page modifications to correct
stuff that I don't have questions on. As soon as get the OK on the latter
I'll start making changes.
1. I'm going to add to the tutorial page a brief description of how the UI
components are named in the factory files as Leonid described in an answer
to my question on this.
2. Do some googling on facets and link to good sources in the tutorial where
facets are mentioned.
3. Put a link to Leonid's docs on handlers in the tutorial.
We still need documentation on events and the project architecture. Is there
anybody with the necessary knowledge and time to do this? I have the time,
but not the understanding of JSFT internals.
As soon as get the OK I'll start on the changes that I can make.
