 RW> The Q's!

 RW> - There doesn't seem to be a ton of examples in the wild, or

I havent read past your message but I'm sure you've got some responses. But bascally you can change lot...

 RW> - Baja vs. javascript. My understanding is baja approach (compiled) is
 RW> more comprehensive than the js approach. Any recos here?

The way to go would be javascript. Rob has done a lot of work there, and IIRC, Baja may be on the way out? (But not in the short term).

 RW> - It looks like there is a ton of potential for progammatic customization
 RW> via shells/events/etc. Any Synchronet sysops who have transformed their
 RW> BBS in unique ways?

Yup, I've got an implemetantion based around Viewdata/videotex. I chip away at it every now and again - and it has away to go, but it can do some things now. I have a true 40x25 column Videotex implementation that you can access via the web (or a videotex client), or an ANSI implementation (80x25) via my BBS on port 24.

I really should work on it more and get it more functional...
