Can we get 'D' to v1.0 first?

I'd guess W. wants DWT ported to linux and mac around the time D 1.0 comes out, so he can use DWT as a marketing tool for D 1.0.

How do you think having version 1.0 before embracing a standard D GUI will help?

Just a mindset thing. The actual version or release number of D isn't really the issue. Instead I see the prioritization of the effort still to go to make D a stable and workable platform for such a GUI library.

In other words, I think that there are lot's of other issues to be addressed *before* Walter's time is taken up with this issue.

I suspect Walter's stamp of approval is mostly a way to focus "our" effort on a common goal moreso than anything else.  Since DWT likely doesn't require any additional language support, there's no need for Walter's involvement beyond some occasional steering.  Unless perhaps he has a Java front-end sitting around that he wants to devote to the automated translation effort.

The idea isn't to take up my time, I won't be working on DWT. The idea is to give encouragement to those already hard at work on DWT, and to hopefully rally others to help them finish.

This is a good thing. I will eventually have plenty of things to discuss.  Please don't expect anything for the next few days... I'm away for a bit.

Thank you for setting this group up.  It should help the endeavor.

Now that I think about it .. shouldn't it be a general gui NG instead? Since we didn't decide yet to endrose any specific GUI?
