Hey,
Working on the searching patch meta data stuff as well?
thoughts about organization of abstractions?
Mathieu is convinced that the best method is to generate the external tree based on the meta keywords themselves.

So the way that the menus are currently built is pretty whacky. I want to rewrite the menu handling part of u_main.tk to change a few things. I want to know if this is going to conflict with anything that anyone else is working on.
First, each platform's menus would be clearly laid out in one place. This would make it very easy to tailor the menu structure to guidelines for each OS.
The menus would be built only at launch, except where then need to be built dynamically (i.e. the Windows menu, which is broken on Mac OS X anyway). For example, the Help menu is rebuilt after each use. AFAIK, this is unneeded and makes the menus respond sluggishly.
On a related topic, I just created a patch against 0.38-3/0.38-4 that fixes the "Browser..." and nested menu troubles on Mac OS X. Its in CVS: packages/darwin_app/patches/extended_help_menu.patch
I will start working on 0.38-4, then port the changes to 0.39.
