[maemo-developers] what if...

[From: gary liquid]

i have been thinking and talking with pupnik in #liqbase a little this
evening and I mentioned something that has been rolling round my head.

what if i took the kick ass superior rendering of liqbase and tried
something different.

liqbase has always been really fast (sacrificing perfection with simplicity
and immature features coded by myself) and it runs as fast as ever on n810
and n900
however at the same time, liqbase has never had full library support I need
and everything coded has been done to fulfil a requirement in the system.
its immature and incomplete, mostly because I have been working hard at
constructing and testing radical rendering engine - its not the kind of
thing I could pass off to a group before I knew it would work.

what if those principles and methods and optimizations and streamlined
development efforts were transfered and done in a qt context?

that is:

finding a streamlined way to continue the live development on the device as
I currently do, not having to be 7 steps removed from the actual building
and running and I would know instantly if ideas and things worked.
to allow rapid recompilation and/or modification of the apps we write and
quick viewing on actual metal hardware.
to allow compilation of shared libraries by default, so sharing of visual
elements is easier.
to use the current qt core library for as much of the tasks as possible - to
ease development and learning.
to create a cohesive system of interlinked components which gel nicely and
render well on all devices we currently have and will have in the future.

to build a kickass new tablet optimized framework using the best of all
worlds.
i have the base experience, it would take a LOT of work and i just dont have
enough fingers.



just an idea.
