[Anygui-devel] A simpler API?

[Magnus L. H. <ml...@id...>]

Do we need a simpler API? Just a thought... My
experience from the early days of Piddle development
tells me that a simple API can be a good thing --
to get the project off the ground. If designed
correctly, the small API may be extended at a later
time, yet will be easier to implement quickly.

And a working software package will probably gain
more support than an almost-working one...
Dissatisfied users are a great source of feedback
and volunteer work <0.5 wink>

Another advantage with a simple API is that it will
work with backends such as htmlgui (HTML 4.0 based)
which Alex has been thinking about.

Maybe I'm off the mark -- maybe Greg's API (e.g.)
is simple enough... (It isn't exactly complicated.)
I just thought perhaps we could cut some corners
wrt. (among other things) the menu setup etc...

I'll try to think about what we _really_ need for
a 0.1-release... I hope someone else will too :)
