We don't have a lot of specific requirement beside the basic canvas usage so probable any one would suit our needs (except HippoCanvas which we understand as being more a layout manager than a canvas).
So we made this choice because nobody in the GTK community is able to select an official one. This is sad because there is a waste of effort, first because many developers work on the same think. And then because it will be hard to reuse, integrate other code. So if someone can tell us now if we are going in the wrong direction, it will save a lot of time. Basically, GCompris core development is made by 2 persons in their spare time. We are doing major changes to suit the OLPC project, it's a major work for us and going in the wrong direction will make us loose valuable time. -- Bruno Coudoin http://gcompris.net Free educational software for kids http://toulibre.org Logiciel Libre à Toulouse _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/sugar
