Hi all.
I'd very much like to see some features added to broadway to make it usable for me. I'd be building commerical apps with it ( using Perl / Gtk3 ), and could throw some money into getting it up to the level I need, if that would actually help.
Basically what I need is a proper multiplexing display server, and some form of security. I've discussed this briefly in other posts to this list. The basic flow I see would be:
1) User hits some generic login page, and authentication happens ( either as a part of broadway, or via some other cgi / whatever logic )
2) Authenticated user's details are passed back to broadwayd, which looks for an existing session with an app. If a session exists, user is reconnected to it. Otherwise broadwayd spawns a new instance of the configured app on some port, and starts proxying the user to this port.
I don't know if this matches what other people had in mind - in particular whoever has written the current broadwayd. Anyway, how far off this are we, both in terms of developer-hours, and money people would be happy to accept for making this happen?
Alternatively, if someone is interested in mentoring me, I'd consider doing it myself. I have *basic* C knowledge. I've done some simple patches to a handful of projects - gtk+, enlightenment 'ecomorph' compositor. That was a while back. I'd need some help :)
Thoughts?
Dan
