Graphical control interface support.

[Javier Godinez]

Hello,

Has anyone drawn up hard requirements for the graphical control interface?
I am interested in contributing...

Javier,

I am working on xenmanager. You can find the trac site at
http://xenmanager.dronestudios.com/. The code that is currently in
there is in python. I am both very bad and very new to python, so I am
preparing things to switch to writing in Mono with Gtk#. Should be
starting on that next week. (There are a couple of reasons for this,
anyone who is interested may ask me on here or via irc. The reasons
have mostly to do with making things work on both 2.0 and 3.0 quick
enough for 3.0 release.

Cheers,

Christian,

I think you have a really good start, myself and another guy I work
with are interested in helping. I think though that you should stick
to Python for a few reasons 1) you have already come so far, 2)
integration would be easier and 3) extra overhead with Mono. Not too
sure about the third one as I have never used Mono before, but of
course the call is yours, the source is GPLed anyway right. I did not
see a TODO in the source, is there a place where I can find such
information?

Thank, Javier Godinez

Javier,

What is there is mostly just a prototype to show my employer that the
project is worth while. While being one of the mono developers, I am
partial, but you will find that mono can keep up with python just fine
and even outperform it in many places. My reason for wanting to switch
to a strongly typed language is two fold. The main reason is that i
want a rich plugin interface, and for me, python would be very tough
as I am new to python. Secondly, since the only reason i wanted to use
python was to interact with the xend python bindings natively, I am no
longer held to that with how much they are changing and may someday
not even become the profered method of communication.

I hope to do some work on this tomorrow and let you know how
development goes. I would love to have some help.

Cheers

Christian,

OK, I see what you mean, Gtk# should be interesting and possibly easier eh!
Where in the development cycle are you?
Do you have requirements/architecture docs yet?
Anything else you can post on the website?

Thanks, Javier Godinez
