It should be added that writing a complete GUI for a professional App is no small task, so we are glad if anyone starts this GUI thing. Naturally, the one volunteering first gets many opportunities to shape the whole application which is emerging, and his work has good chances to become "the" GUI. But this doesn't mean that we couldn't have several GUIs, e.g. one simple and one with many bangs and whistles. As long as we keep clean interfaces and sort of a common understanding of terms and procedures, and don't end up in a war of competing GUIs, we'll be fine...

PS :We especially invite people involved in (professional or ambitious amateur) video/film editing to participate in the GUI design, even if they can't code themselves, because those are our primary intended audience -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFH7vFDZbZrB6HelLIRAnbtAJwL0rs4f4fjATwVUIf8pzIF1D3HAACgpupI mDnnAG1KseVXNL7SFun0c2w= =rT+a -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
