Re: New Ada portable GUI Library?

["Phaedrus" <phaedrusalt@hotmail.com>]

This might be a silly question, but what is the problem that this portable 
GUI is intended to solve?  Is it a portable GUI to help professional, 
seasoned developers to create portable code?  Or, is it a simple, portable 
GUI that will allow newbies to get consistent, pleasant results on any 
platform?  Personally, I'd rather see the second one created, to get more 
newbies enthused about the joys of Ada.  After all, wasn't someone just 
asking for a simple scientific plot mechanism a few threads ago?

Hmmm, where's the requirements spec for this thing?  *chuckle*

Cheers!
