Think Secret now claims that Dashcode has been officially released? Hrm.
EDIT: up until now, all talk was that it had been accidentally leaked/accidentally distributed on disks. TS makes it sound like the release on disks was deliberate. Last edited by Engine Joe : 2006-05-25 at 12:30. |

Just because it seems to have accidentally left Apple's campus doesn't mean that Apple has intentionally released it for public consumption. Something as new and shiny as Dashcode probably would have gotten some sort of announcement from Apple, even if it's just a small one. If you can point me to where Apple has publicly released it, I'll stand corrected. Apparently I call the cops when I see people litter. |

Also keep in mind that every Install DVD that ships with an Apple is custom-tailored to that model. I know someone who has tried to get a Tiger DVD that shipped with a 17" PowerBook to install on a 15" PowerBook, and it wouldn't let him. So that means a new Install DVD must be put together by Apple for each hardware release. Accidents do happen... Apparently I call the cops when I see people litter. |

It could be many things...
Conspiracy theory 1 - Disgruntled developers in Apple want it released and it's being held back, so the *accidentally* slip it onto a distribution. Conspiracy theory 2 - Viral Marketting / Beta Testing by Apple. Conspiracy theory 3 - ok bored now.. I think it was deliberate on some level. What level I am not sure.. I know I have leaked stuff when I was working 'in house' before...

This is out because Apple slipped up so I say have at it. I won't relink lest I inspire the ire of the admins but everyone knows how to use Google.
What the hell is with so many members trying to be little helper mods? I think the AN staff is quite capable on their own without a horde of members running around with the posting guidelines in one hand and Apple's EULA in the other. |

I can see with naming conventions that this would be a developer's app, but I think that it should be made into an iApp since it is so, seemingly, intuitive and such. I mean if we can make our own podcasts without having to get Xcode, why can't we make widgets?!

it's not like dashboard is a major part of the OS X experience... and you have to download the crappy widgets anyway. It's not like they're viri or bundled software. I would be all for letting users create widgets. As long as I can search their website for widgets by function and number of downloads I'll be fine - let other peopel determine which widgets are good.

I am working on getting a site up for widget developers. www.dashcoders.com Check it out if you'd like. I thought it goes with the topic.
