Sure.

I didn't mean to say that it's not usable, just that at the time when I looked for something 
(some years ago), it was simply not yet available.

But, and please do not take this wrong, I would like to see some more demos on your website:

At the moment, based on available examples, I simply don't see the advantage of using brook 
over plain fcl-web. If I look at the samples you currently provide, it looks like a thin 
layer on top of fcl-web, and fcl-db.

I am biased, obviously, but I think that a newbie also needs more examples to see what brook 
can do for him/her.

Michael.
