== The Grantlee Template System ==

The Grantlee Template System is a port of the Django Template System[1] to the 
Qt framework[2].
The intent of the system is to encourage a clean separation of application and
presentation logic, and to take the presentation of information out of the
hands of developers and into the hands of artists.

This talk will cover some of the challenges of porting the system from python, 
a dynamically typed language whose objects are fully introspectable, to C++ 
which is statically typed. As the Django syntax is extensible by defining 
additional template tag and filter modules, so too is Grantlee extendible by 
using the QtPlugin system.

Consumers of Grantlee will include several applications in the KDE project 
which will support theming. This talk is a preview of the talk I will deliver 
in Gran Canaria in July[3].

All the best,

Steve.
