Hi Douglas,

I suppose you are aware of the AXAnnouncements package available from 
the Package Downloader tool in Cuis. I wanted to mention it just in 
case. That's a port I've made and I'm using for some of my projects. Now 
I'm considering adding an Erudite book to document it, if I can find the 
original Announcements docs.

As for why it is not used in Cuis as main event system, all I can do is 
speculate. Announcements can be slightly more "heavyweight" than the 
current event system (classes for events), and I think you require an 
#announcer method, unless you implement the announcements machinery 
right into Object (I guess that would be the idea).

I don't know more.

Cheers,

Mariano
