I'm grasping everything on that page now. I suggest cutting the examples
in smaller pieces to show either
 - setting widget properties
 - showing auto-update
and declare first_name somewhere.

But I was only looking at easy widget manipulation back then, not easy
application + gui building. I suppose that's what they call "learning".

So now all I need is a nice chunk of time to play with Wise and all
these API ideas (read: I have a couple of weekends in the upcoming months
and some evenings. It's unlikely I can spend much of that on Wise, since
there are so many other things to do. Can someone hire me to do this,
perhaps?)

guitopia, actually :)

And we all know there is another project with the name rouge as well.
