I'll try to get something releaseable within the next couple of weeks. At
the moment, I'm running things through Eclipse. I need to package things up
into an executable demo.
Right now, the demo I created is rather graphically unimpressive. I lifted
an svg scripting example from the W3schools site. It would help, if someone
would take one of the Konfabulator widgets (like one of the clocks or the
weather widget) and make that runnable within Batik's Squiggle browser.
That would at least give us something aesthetically pleasing to show.
I'm mulling over the best way to package these widgets ("aka gears"). I'm
leaning towards using jar's to do it, and using RSS and JNLP as the
discovery and installation mechanisms respectively. If anyone has
additional ideas...
The initial release won't include discovery and installation tools, but will
just run the gears.
