Future of OmniWeb and what OmniWeb needs!

   That is our goal, yes.

   We are definitely going to do this, but possibly not by the 4.0 GM 
(maybe 4.1).  We'll see how things pan out -- this is tied closely to 
the next item...

   Wim is working on Keychain integration right now.

   Yup.

> 4. Update to Apple's newest frameworks

   What exactly do you mean by this?  OmniWeb always links the most 
current frameworks... are you looking for us to link a specific 
framework (and presumably actually do something with it? :)

   What sort of information would you like to see?  If you bring up the 
processes panel, you will get lots of information.  Most people just 
want to see whether something is still being loaded or not and making 
the UI look nice is a higher priority.  One problem with the dots that 
we've solved internally already is that they make the page jump up and 
down as they appear and disappear.
