Hi I have some thoughts on this. And I can share it with you, and with others (maybe somebody will be willing to join my efforts when I will start doing something ;).
I'm planing to start work on implementing RIA based UI for fossil. I'm planning to add some AJAX to the fossil web-ui and turn browser window with fossil page open into something like TFS explorer (if you've ever seen Micorsoft's version control system, you will understand the general idea). Fossil backend will watch the state of files in working folder and will visualize via HTML and commands to check-in / out might be sent via JavaScript. The problem is that to complete this task server side web part (written on C) of fossil should be redesign a bit to support asynchronous requests. And then html part should be rewritten (JavaScript). It will take a huge amount of time for single person who already have full time job. -- @macacq On Wed, Jan 26, 2011 at 4:49 PM, David Bovill <[email protected]> wrote: > Found these links: > > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2135779/gui-for-fossil-scm > > On 26 January 2011 13:45, David Bovill <[email protected]> wrote: >> >> Is there an existing project to create a cross-platform GUI for fossil? >> There is the web interface, and maybe that is all that is needed?
