Well, the moderaters haven't terminated() the thread(s) yet. ;) I happen to think that a generic C++ GUI framework is quite interesting, and would be somewhat annoyed if all the discussion of it left the main developer list. It's not even a library yet, unlike Spirit, which has its own list because most of the discussion is implementation issues. To bring a bit of sobering reality to the project, I would suggest picking a simple, even trivial target project (like displaying some trivial dialog box). Then create enough of a framework to make it work on Win32 and X (whichever X interface/toolkit you like best). Maybe seeing the code required to do that, and trying out different approaches will give you a better idea of how to formulate your interface. It should be small enough so that you can write two or three different versions using the major conflicting design tradeoffs. Obviously, you won't be able to generalize all the properties of the resulting library, but maybe you'll get a healthy respect for some of the issues involved.
