I'm quite interested in reliable pop-up / pull-down menus. So if  
thats opensource, it would be quite nice to have it someplace for  
incorporation into SOPE/JOPE ;-)

Eg in SOGo we now use the DTree widget, which seems to be excellent  
though it badly misses on-demand loading of tree nodes.

The current SOGo inverse branch is a highly DHTMLified interface, if  
you have a lot of sparetime to do the installation (its *hard*), give  
it a try.

Thanks,
