Stefan I think we should think more seriously about this platform idea, while I picked Qt mainly because of recent (mobile) events, what really was on my mind is java applications, Eclipse's SWT is more or less has the same position as Qt, and I understood java UI toolkits from SUN started to use GTK+ to render instead of emulating themes, actually I do not see much different between those and GTK# --- those are just another abstract layers that easiest my GNOME development ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

For a module to be part of the GNOME stack, its dependencies must either also be part of GNOME, or be an approved external dependency (http://live.gnome.org/TwoPointTwentyseven/ExternalDependencies). To have an app that depends on Qt be accepted into a GNOME release set, you'd have to propose Qt itself for inclusion in GNOME or to be made an official external dependency. And then you'd have to see how community consensus played out regarding your proposal. In addition to the community consensus bit being difficult to pull off in this case, you'll also note that extra dependencies, especially at the widget level, have historically gotten a fairly rough reception (e.g. libsexy). So, currently the answer is no. There is a process by which that could change...but the odds of being able to pull off that change are not in your favor, to say the least. ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
