I was looking at the help wanted-programming section. The project that really caught my eye is: > > * Reimplement the BOINC Manager so that it is: > o Configurable via an XML file > o Skinnable via CSS > o nicer-looking than the WxWidgets? version > I know it's a biggie, but I have the time and it doesn't seem like an urgent need.
Before I dig in, understand what that really means, and produce a proposal I have a question. Would there be major objections to implementing it in Java? Since the manager communicates with clients on multiple machines I assume it's all done through RPCs. I've had much better results with cross platform GUI applications in Java than in C++. I can test in a few versions of Windows and a few in *nix. I don't have any Macs available but have produced java apps that work on all 3.
