Hi Chintan,

Thanks for the introduction.

We have a dedicated server and the interface requires access to BRL-CAD 
functionality.  How would we support a user opening a .step file with Code 
igniter?  With the current approach, we can directly call BRL-CAD’s step-g 
importer along with dozens of other tools.

I note that this is a whole lot of “how", but not “what”…

What I mean is that I don’t see what you’re proposing that will look any 
different to a user.  it looks like you’re proposing to essentially rewrite OGV 
for a different framework.  While I don’t doubt that is a lot of work and there 
obviously would be tradeoffs, some good and some bad, I’m not sure I see the 
value in doing that on something that is not even deployed yet.

If everything goes to plan, by the end of GSoC we’ll be … exactly where we are 
now.  No?

I think a proposal should primarily focus should on features and usability 
myself.  What user-visible enhancements are going to be implemented?  What 
deficiencies will be corrected or improved?  What about real CAD geometry — 
parametric NURBS?  If back-end changes are going to be made, it should be 
because it’s blocking something from being implemented in a timely fashion.

Keep the thoughts coming.  Feedback from our devs that have worked on OGV in 
the past will undoubtedly be more useful and insightful than my own.

Cheers!
Sean
