Is the list interested in my first impressions:  If so I will post as

I am new to both Smalltalk and Aida, but I like them both, get helped a lot, and want to contribute back.  I would love your impressions, as although I am not being nearly as speedy about it as I want, I am trying to add to the Aida documentation on the Aida site as I learn.  There has been way too much material in the past 3 days to keep up with and consolidate, though!

preferedURL
-----------------
My application requires RESTful urls and bookmarkable urls.  The
caching of object / url references caused me some delay while working
on my own application.

Suggestion:  Add a documentation note to the tutorial on how to reset
the cache. (If you had user comments section on your documentation,
this note would have been added by now.)

Yes, there was some good exchange last week on url's that I did not turn into documentation yet!

Is it necessary to cache the references at all.  Is this a performance
issue or part of the basic design?
Could this be a configuration option for a production system.

Janko could tell you there, I'm sure...

WebApplication  >> observee
-----------------------------------------
 --- I know that names are only names but it was not until I realized
that your observee is what many other mvc frameworks would call the
model.  In my mind model objects are designed to be observed.  I would
have found a comment to this effect helpful in the documentation.

I would agree with that and it would fit nicely into the framework page I am trying to update (the one with the graphics)
