I'd like to take some time and study what has gone before. If I think of a list of successful windowing libraries the following come to mind. http://www.torjo.com/win32gui/ http://www.wxwindows.org/ http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/ http://www.tcl.tk/ http://www.trolltech.com/ http://developer.apple.com/cocoa/ I plan on having the documentation for these windowing libraries on hand, as well as the source code, where available. I've advocated the use of a CSS layout component to render the View-Controller aspect in fashion that is cross-platform and i18n. This is my pet, so I'm interested in reading through existing web browser work. http://mozilla.org/ http://www.konqueror.org/features/browser.php http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/webcore/ https://xhtmlrenderer.dev.java.net/ I'm sharing these thoughts to see if anyone has must see, must consider projects to suggest. Maybe by looking at these lists someone can tell me if I'm totally missing a concept. -- Alan Gutierrez - alan@engrm.com
