: IMHO, besides being small, one very important thing we need to
: look at is application availability OR programming ease.
I completely agree. Few people these days will use graphical
systems that support "modern" user interface constructs, unless
of course it's being built for very custom purposes only. In regards to
programming ease, I am extremely familiar with the win32 api, so
that's why I implemented it, so that I could code upper level custom controls
extremely rapidly. I'm sure that there are a number of equivalent Xlib hackers, too.

: Yes, I know most people want to use nanogui for embedded systems
: ONLY. But restricting the project in this manner would probably
: kill it. Perhaps one extremally small widget set AND one with
: available apps (and I mean source code) would be the best way to
: go, and would also make sure that the core system remains
: flexible.
I want to build both, too.
:
: And the "very small" widget set should probably be easy to code
: for; people don't want to spend weeks coding something this
: specialized, IMHO.

Yep, that's why I'm doing it, because most people don't enjoy coding buttons... ;-)
