Some pieces are in place, last year through the Google Summer of Code,
Iain McCoy implemented a XAML compiler, and the necessary infrastructure
for that.
It is all GUI-less.
The next stage is to create the GUI components; We have not attempted
to look at it so far for a number of reasons:
* The API is still very much changing, and tracking a changing
API many times results in wasted effort.
* At least those of us at Novell want to first ship Windows.
Forms and not be distracted by the new shinny object.
In the long term, a WPF implementation will likely happen in the open
source world (either by us, or other teams) but it feels more bloated
than it should.
Miguel.
