Which features to include (or duplicate) in each application (xX4 & xWD)? That's the direction of discussion taken at post number eight in this thread.

  • xX4 was released with WYSIWYG website develpment features included (specifically, an HTML exporter).
  • After further conceptual development (perhaps after some contructive user feedback), it no doubt became clear that to the Xara folk that this could probably define a whole new application that would address a unique market (with some overlap):
    • Expand/improve the website creation features.
    • Include xX4 basic features that support website development.
    • Maintain the xX4 user interface.
    • Ensure a high level of compatability between xX4 and this new website creation product.
    • Price this new offering agressively.
The big question now, however, is "how to proceed with xX5?" Should it include the improved features of xWD, or should the existing HTML exporter (and the new xX4 features that contribute to website development) be extracted?
