Just an idea for making Anygui more useful, even if we don't get another full release: How about paring it down to an anygui-core package? If, by chance, a full release is made at some time in the future, it could be based on anygui-core. I'm thinking the core could simply contain the event dispatching, reference system, front-end/back-end sync mechanism, and back-end import mechanism -- but make no assumptions about the specific API (i.e., the GUI classes/widgets) and contain no such classes or specific back-ends. This is code that could be useful for others who wish to develop something along the lines of Anygui (e.g., what James Thompson talked about), and it would be much easier to debug and test (and document) than the rest of the code. Just an idea. If I get the time, I might do this myself. If anyone else is interested, help (or, at least, interest ;) is always welcome. -- Magnus Lie Hetland Fall seven times, stand up eight http://hetland.org [Japanese proverb] |
