I am a big fan of ASPRunner and would like to see it becoming better with every release. Sergey and his team are already doing a great effort to fulfill all feature requests and implementing new features that one can only wish to have from other products.
It doesn't seem that ASPRunner would be using ExtJS (http://www.extjs.com/products/gxt/)and reading about this matter, few people seem to have issues with ExtJS mainly because of their licensing scheme which has caused project forking to a similar framework OpenExt (http://sourceforge.n.../openext/files/)
Putting the license issue aside, I would like to check with ASPRunner/PHPRunner user community and -of course- the developmenyt team if ExtJS/OpenExt can be included in the next releases may be in a different flavour.

I would think that ASPRunner could be provided in 2 versions, with and without ExtJA with a different price tag. Users who are ready to pay for the extra features would pay for the ExtJS through ASPrunner and get the support through Sergey's team.

Is OpenExt an option here?
I am not sure how realistic such idea would be , however it will most certainly improve the look& feel of any ASPRunner application and I would be happy to pay for the extra module.

My question is:

-Would the ASPRunner dev team consider providing a module -if possible- to use ExtJS based templates for extra cost? (on top of the standard upgrade cost)

-Would any other users find such idea compelling enough to set up a poll and get users views. Would you buy ExtJS through ASPRunner if available?
I was very impressed by ASPRunner since I used it and even more with its support and would dream of seeing ExtJS like features (menus, grids, forms etc.) built in and am personally happy to pay for an extra module as it wouldn't be fair to expect ASPRunner to include it all for free. They would have to buy the licenses as well.
