Great, I thought about a rework from scratch many times. The current web site design doesn't really reflect how beautiful DirectFB is. I want a fancy but not overloaded page with much content, an open forum and knowledge base besides the closed-post mailing list, application & library catalogue, detailed hardware support charts/tables, benchmarks, polls ;) Very important: a bug tracking system, even more important: not Bugzilla. I don't like boring user interfaces. It should be simple, but powerful, fast and nice looking. Feel free to redesign the site from scratch. I thought about using php, but I guess you have your own favourites. > Most of my time coding is spent DirectFB related, currently working on > getting Evas and Ecore to properly support DirectFB with the final goal > of using this to create an Enlightened window manager for DirectFB, > which ofcourse means modifications to DirectFB itself. Indeed, interesting. I'm thinking of different window management modules used by the windowing core. These modules play a similar role like window managers for X, but they are not extra clients. The chosen window manager module will be loaded by each application, practically running in all processes calling functions of it. Well, like most parts of the core ;) -- Best regards, Denis Oliver Kropp .------------------------------------------. | DirectFB - Hardware accelerated graphics | | http://www.directfb.org/ | "------------------------------------------" Convergence GmbH -- Info: To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe directfb-users" as subject.
