Re: [RFC] Common library for Git GUIs

Hi,

I don't know if it is possible to elect a toolkit. Each toolkit is good.

Concerning the design of the library, I think it is better to split
the library into different layers. The part of the e-world I know
concern Gtk/Gnome, so I will use it for my example.

IMHO, it should be interesting to build a library containing only
GObject'ification of Git and some wrappers/helpers to construct these
objects. For example, some objects to represent authors, commits,
branches, remotes and so on. Coupled to these base-types, this library
should provide solutions to construct these base-types (wrappers
around Git commands and/or internal files).
This library can be named libgit-glib for example.
Such library can help developement of current UI (giggle, gitg,
anjuta-git plugin, and probably others I don't know).

Then, on top of this library, we can imagine another one providing
high-level widgets. But it seems harder to identify common widgets
between different GUI.

In order to justify my idea, take a look at Qt. They started with a
large library, merging low-level with widgets. And then, they split it
in order to allow access to low-level features only.


I'm really interested in such project. So, if someone knows such
project, or create such a project, drop me a line, please.

Regards,
