e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people who are no longer maintaining those ports.

Entity is an application framework built around XML. The core of Entity is
|
|
actually an engine that allows you to create objects out of XML by supplying
|
|
methods for creation, attribute-setting, and destruction of XML nodes in a
|
|
tree.
|
|
|
|
This design allows you to create tags in XML which can be used to represent
|
|
pretty much any object. We have used this to create a set of tags for the GTK+
|
|
toolkit, allowing you to create graphical applications using XML, and an
|
|
embedded scripting language.
|
|
|
|
Any scripting language supported by Entity can be used to change the XML tree
|
|
during runtime, and the changes are immediately reflected in the rendered
|
|
representation of the XML. Using XML for the user interface, data storage, and
|
|
code of an application allows you to easily implement configuration, saving,
|
|
and undo.
|
|
|
|
The interface for creating UIs and programming in Entity is quite intuitive and
|
|
allows for rapid application development. Entity currently supports Perl,
|
|
Python, TCL, Javascript, and C for doing runtime XML creation and modification.
