The problem with me and the "baton" is is that I am outside Nokia and that creates problems: 1) Qt plugins would need to have to be modified to prevent malicious hacking. Flash only allows persistent storage to registry objects. The HTML5 database stuff would/should be the only storage. Lical file-system i/o needs to be prevented as well.
2) Binaries would have to be signed by a credible source, preferably Nokia. 3) Language control despite "open governance" is, and will likely always be, heavily influenced by the whims of Nokia. Still, with QML as a standard (W3C or even ECMA) people will likely flock to it due to being free and open. Look at what happened with VP8. Additional people (and I mean developers) will flock to it because they want 1st rate support on Linux and OSX. I don't think QML needs to 'prove itself'. VP8 is already being included, and is unproven and questionably licensed. I definitely think QML will change over time. But it stands to break out from Adobe AIR and Silverlight (and Moonlight) and provide a 1st rate on all platforms replacement. If Nokia wants to hire me for this initiative, I would give it serious consideration. (Its nto every day you get to break a change the the web) But between the standards process and getting the necessary code tweaks done, I think it is a full-time job, not something that can be done on the side. ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Sent: Fri, July 16, 2010 9:39:43 AM Subject: Re: [Qt-qml] Standards?

If with "submit QML as web standard" you mean to "submit QML to W3C for standardization", I guess you should bear in mind that Flash ISN'T a standard. I just happened to become widely used because filled a gap that HTML (and relata) on it's own couldn't. I would love though to be able to develop stuff in QML and have it running within a browser. Problem is, we would fall into the trap of User requiring to install another plugin so that a QML-player could sit into an "<object>" tag. Other options could be to extend the <canvas> set of context to support a "QML context". But maybe this is just dreaming... QML still has to prove itself on the wide scene, unfortunately.

This would be the first fully open source implementation of anything close to it. _______________________________________________ Qt-qml mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-qml -- Ivan De Marino | Software Engineer | France Telecom R&D UK - Orange Labs w. +44 20 8849 5806 | m. +44 7515 955 861 | m. +44 7974 156 216 ivan[dot]demarino[at]orange-ftgroup.com | ivan[dot]de[dot]marino[at]gmail[dot]com www.detronizator.org | www.linkedin.com/in/ivandemarino
