 It's kind of like Glade on steroids..
 
+----------------------------------------------------
+Usage:
+
+seed gtkrun.js Builder
+
+-> create a project
+-> add a folder to the project
+-> add a file to the project..
+Files are JSON data files at present.. 
+
 -----------------------------------------------------
 Where it is..
 
 * basic builder app runs - you can build a tree of elements making up a interface for roo and gtk.
-
-
+* listeners are  created correctly.
+* listeners with gtk prototypes
+* Gtk properties that are enums - now show a combo selector..
+* application is used to write itself...
+* Projects can be created and deleted (basically a directory)
+* sourceview to uses spaces rather than tabs. (and autoindents..)
+* Help view - load docs..
+* highlight in gtk preview - works but is klunky..
+* Support for extra code in Roo HTML is done by "Set extra HTML in rendere"
 -----------------------------------------------------
-TODO
-* listeners need to created correctly.
 
+TODO (Gtk)
+* Tables are not rendering first time round..
+* Dialog buttons - need special rendering on preview.
+* Icon-size (should be an enum...??)
+* (Image|....??? ).stock - should be a list of stock icons..
+* fix pulldowns for types.. - it's a bit hap hazard with the delayed / loading of settings.
+* packing - gather from methods to find out which match.. (including false)
+* adding a file does not display on project tree straight awya..
 * templates for elements... - eg. defaults for classic elements.
 * sort out add heirachy for Gtk..
+* Project Tree needs to work perhaps like a left hand popout.
 * make heirachy editor...
-* use application to write it'self...
+* new file = should specify type (eg. gtk window etc..)
+* Help view - next/back.. url?
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+TODO (Roo)
+* file properties - title, parent etc..
+
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+Thoughts...
+* Widget definition files.. (to replace our 'Usage.txt' files)
+-> defaults  { ... }
+-> onAdd(name_of_parent, cfg) { modifies defaults.. }
+-> validParents : [ .... ]
+-> validChildren???: [ .... ]
+
+* how to handle stuff like GtkTable.. - 
+ - needs cols,rows in constructor.
+ - child properties do not appear to work?  -- investigate?
+
+* XObject - Use Buildable interface???
+  
+* Preview area - use glade widgets?
+
+-----------------------------------------------------
+Concepts
+
+Basically both Roo and JS are built using a tree of elements (tagged with xtype/xns)
+sub elements always go in the items array..
+we have some special properties of elements, eg.
+
+*prop (a property of the parent)
+xtype (element type) eg. Window / Button etc..
+|xns  (namespace) = eg. Gtk/Roo etc.
+
+|**** anything starting with a pipe is raw data field rather than quoted..
+
+
+each element can have a property listeners which is where the listeners go...
