Re: [glob2-devel] Glob2 salvage proposal

Hi,

Just another two remarks:
- One big advantage I see in the client/server model, specially with 
thin-client, is a real split between engine, where features are being worked 
on, and display. I think that connection through the network forces a good 
abstraction and encapsulation. Furthermore, it solves the problem of people 
having different and incompatible versions of config files.
- I was thinking about Qt because I've spent lot's of hours last 8 years in 
making GUI for less than 1/10 of Qt's features. I think that using Qt can 
very quickly gain us lot of development time. Let only take graphics 
backends. We have several bug report of people complaining that the GL 
backend does not work with their specific graphic card. With Qt, we can just 
use Arthur, and we get OpenGL, X, GDI+, ... for free.

Have a nice day,

Steph
