Hi

I have been lurking on this list for some time without posting and have
contributed nil to multisync and opensync, so you you might as well
ignore my comments.

If you want publicity, you might want to update the multisync page and
provide a link to opensync. I suppose multisync gets much more hits than
opensync. BTW, I just looked at the multisync page and it's broken. You
ge a directory view. You can still view the page by selecting news.php
there, but this should really be fixed (sorry, if you have just been
working on it).


no. didnt see this before. the question is: why did sf.net stop accepting index.php as the starting document?

i tried changing the mode or changing the ending .html but nothing worked. Does anyone have a idea?

I have some experience with gui design. Skript is definitely the way to
go. With ruby/python you get better results faster than with lower level
languages plus you get portability if you choose the right toolkit.
The built in toolkits are ugly (they are all based on tk from tcl/tk). I
have never used WXWindows, so I'll not comment on it.
Toolkit bindings for QT or gtk have the disadvantage, that you add
requirements without gaining much if you don't aim for thorough desktop
integration. They are particularly fiddly to install on Windows.
When using ruby I'd recommend FoxTk. It is particularly easy to
implement, it looks OKish (it does not mimic other tks so it will look a
bit alien anywhere, which is the sole disadvantage). And it comes with
the ruby installer for Windows, which is big plus.
When you want to use python, you should investigate which of the more
advanced tks is most commonly used with python. I don't think python has
something like like fox - a de facto standard advanced tk included in
standard Windows installer. Thus any tk with its own Windows installer
would suffice.
You should also look at swig to get opensync language bindings for the
scripting language of your choice (http://www.swig.org/).



so far i have used pyrex for the bindings with good result, but i think that swig is probably the way to go so we can provide wrappers for other languages as well.

About the gui:
I have no personal preference as long as the toolkit looks (fairly) good and is cross platform.


@thorsten
You said that you have experience with gui design. Would you be willing to help a bit when we start implementing the gui (my gui programming talents are... suboptimal :)


 Cheers
