So the idea here is to have a manager for tux scripts, that's all. There's no plan for graphical interfaces yet for every widget, only the manager will have some basic GUI to handle the widgets. We more or less want to focus on the use of tux when the user is not in front of his computer, we don't need to compete with classic widgets, the clock will use tux to say the time, the alarm will make tux ring,... nothing on the computer side. So really it's just a master application to handle multiple scripts and which uses the API to communicate with tux. The framework should not add any other dependency that the API/daemon currently have. >> I'll try to be the relay between the ML/wiki/IRC and Rémi. > Why is Rémi so shy? :-) He's coming from the M$ world and has always been a solo developer so he's not used to the community way of life :-), but now his wife will give birth in the coming days and he relocated recently too and doesn't get internet access yet... |
