Well, I had this nagging idea of another user interface textual
"source" form. XML could be good enough for that, if it's used to
define user interface in an abstract enough way as to be really
independent from the various implementations. Ideally, this XML could
even be used to build interfaces in other frameworks such as GNOME.
You talk about XUL, right ? ;-)
YES !!! Let's make a XUL implementation for GNUstep and MacOSX AppKit. I
would certainly love it, messing around with IB is nice for RAD, but
IMHO not for building portable and maintainable applications (ever tried
to get a useful diff out of .nibs ? ;-).
Therefore not in terms of such and such class of OpenStep, but in
general terms of Windows, Buttons, Menus, Texts, etc.
Yep, like in XUL. XUL is IMHO not the best language for describing UI,
but at least documentation for it exists and it's usability is somewhat
demonstrated by Mozilla.
