Romain and team did a good job with their Extreme GUI makeover talk.

Ben and I were wondering if it would be fun to have a competition next year. A Swing team, and an Ajax team get the same spec, and have to come up with a great application.

Now, at first we thought that we would have no chance. We have an XHR, and the Swing team has JOGL and Java2D!

How can we even the playing field? How about this. We keep track of the hours that we spend on the project, and at the JavaOne talk, we give the other team an envelope with the number of hours spent on the project.

What do you think guys?
