I think that couple of important topics were raised here. Things like MVC, layout system and surface concept briefly described on your website need to be thinked over in more detail because these are going to affect how the library will be used.
I'll think over MVC and the layout system and will get back with a minimal proposal which can be discussed over. The surface concept I find it useful to deal with drawing in a generic manner. If there's any flaw, I would like to know it, since I'm already implementing it.
As Jarred pointed out GUI library needs to learn from others strenghts and weaknesses.
Surely.
I think we should start by describing how these thigs work in commonly used GUI libraries to get an inspiration. Then pick up best solution as a candidate to implement in your library (or come with new one).
I'm keen to come with a new one, which can be implemented over the other libraries.
Of course care has to be taken to keep everything consistent and fit to the library's interface. I think we need some sort of wiki pages for that. My longest GUI expirience comes from Qt and wxWidgets worlds so I can help with describing how the things are doing there. What do you think?
Sure! I can add you to the project in assembla if you want.
