I bet we can. I think now we need to decide which *nix GUI API to use and get started on a proof of concept. Maybe we should decide which elements of the layer 1 API to implement first. What do you think about: window, button, edit, and static_text? We can get a simple sub-language running on top of those few controls quickly enough. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
