Hello, in 2009 we started to create a GWT binding for WebGL and open sourced it short after (http://code.google.com/p/gwtgl/). The googlecode site has a ~300 visitors per week. Even at the Google IO 2011 there was a question for that ( http://www.google.com/events/io/2011/sessions/gwt-html5-a-web-developers-dream.html -> 32:20). And as far as I know, PlayN (http://code.google.com/p/playn/) also includes a partial binding for the TypedArrays and WebGL specs. We think that shows the interest on that topic in the GWT community.
That's why we think it's time to have support for WebGL included in GWT. So, even PlayN could benefit from our full binding. That's why we would like to contribute our code for inclusion in GWT. We are only two people, who wrote the code and we did it in our free time. Both have signed the Contributor License Agreement ( http://code.google.com/intl/de-DE/legal/individual-cla-v1.0.html). Currently the project's state is: - The TypedArrays and WebGL specifications are fully supported by our binding. - We have complete JavaDocs and some basic tests for the TypedArrays. - We have few JavaDocs and no Tests for WebGL If that is sufficient for the inclusion in GWT, we would prepare the code: - move to the "com.google.gwt" namespace and rename the GWT modules - apply the GWT code style As we don't have the knowledge to write good JavaDocs for the whole WebGL/OpenGL stuff, it's not possible for us to provide these. We had the initial idea to use the docs of OpenGL ES, but we think: - they don't exactly match - it's not possible because of license conflicts We think there are multiple options for us if there's an interest in that topic: 1. We create a contribution that contains our complete binding for the TypedArrays and WebGL. JavaDocs can be aded later. 2. We create a contribution for the WebGL part and we create a patch for the webGL part, somebody else can use it as starting point for a contribution 3. We only do the needed changes in our repository so that it's a good starting point for the future. We would like to get feedback on that. With kind regards Sönke & Steffen -- http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors
