SVG DOM object browser, Re: Agenda for Thurs Call (Oct 9th)

Hi Jeff,

I would like to discuss a potential add on to our SVG community site.

SVG developers often have a hard time exploring the SVG DOM. It is hard
for them to read the DOM related spec sections or IDL.

On phrogz.net one can find a DOM object browser. Unfortunately it is quite
slow currently and not very well-known:
http://phrogz.net/objjob/objects.asp?langID=1

I also don't know if this is maintained. ASP errors currenlty appear on
some pages.

It would be great if the SVG community website would offer such an object
browser for the SVG DOM and related W3C technologies.

It would also be great if SVG community members could add comments and
simple code examples illustrating the use of the various objects, their
methods and properties, similar to what is possible at www.php.net or
other similar sites.

If we have time at tomorrows telcon I would like to discuss this issue.

Thanks,
Andreas
