Re: [Development] GCompris goes the Qt Quick route
Sadly there is no easy migration path and this implies a full rewrite. Do you have a writeup of the options you looked at and results of each one? QtQuick might be the best way forwards but a full rewrite is usually something to be very wary of unless the requirements for the product itself have changed completely (eg. as in the case of X.org - Wayland).
