It probably requires facing the immediate need before knowing what it should really look like. I could expect that a useful use-case is the use of "application-logic" developed using QtCore classes within a Wt application (next to for example a Qt application). Although that would seem trivial, it turns out it isn't. The good news: I just committed to CVS an example with some utility classes that allows this on the lowest level, which is mainly concerned with getting Qt's threading and event loop model to work from within Wt. That allows the basic things (using Qt objects within a Wt session, and using their signal/slot system from within the event loop). As you suggest, a "WQtItemModel" that implements WAbstractItemModel wrapping a QAbstractItemModel seems to have immediate use. Note that we plan to make WAbstractItemModel also support "tree-like" functionality next to the current table-only functionality, and will thus become even more like QAbstractItemModel. We currently have no plans to provide tools or support for making it easier to reuse widgets -- instead we will first try to improve the Wt API to become featurewise a more complete subset of Qt's API.
