[10:54] <hannesw> documenting some code is a very good way to find inconsistencies in naming etc.
[10:54] <hannesw> http://dev.helma.org/ng/helma.skin/
[10:55] <hannesw> simono: should we use block-style subskins in ng? with start _and_ end tag?
[10:56] <hannesw> and should we rename "subskin" to "block" or something similar?
[10:56] <hannesw> earl: are you here?
[10:56] <simono> hannesw, not sure about end-tags... i'm still thinking about how to layout the skins with inheritance
[10:57] <hannesw> ah, gotta reply to your last helma message...
[10:57] <hannesw> i think you missed that skin inheritance in helma follows prototype inheritance
[10:57] <hannesw> so you can only extend a skin in a parent prototype
[10:58] <hannesw> put base.skin in HopObject so you can extend it anywhere.
[10:58] <hannesw> or in Global, if it's a global skin...
[10:58] <simono> okay, was expecting more from skin-extend
[10:59] <simono> extending a skin that is defined in a different prototype doesn't seem to far fetched
[10:59] <simono> o/c we can work around that
[11:02] <hannesw> Well just put it in HopObject! That's the way Helma 1 works, isn't it?
[11:06] <simono> yes, wasn't so clear for me that skin-extension and inheritance are coupled.
[11:10] <hannesw> coupled is the wrong word. It would be really hard to implement it any other way in h1
[11:17] <simono> okay. extending still saves us code, so its all good :)
[13:34] <earl> hannesw: yep
[13:42] <hannesw> hi earl, nice to see you :-)
[15:29] <earl> hannesw_: did you want anything specific before :) ?
