We looked at GNUe a few years ago before we started Dabo; believe
me, if there was an open source package that did what we needed (or
most of it), we'd have never undertaken this effort!
To be honest, I haven't looked at it again since then, and I don't
really remember what the roadblocks were. I do recall that it was Gtk-
only, and I don't know if that has changed, but we wanted our apps to
look native on all platforms, and Gtk really looked bad on OS X and
Windows then, so we went with wxPython as our UI toolkit.
One thing that got my attention straight away with gnue was the
presense of
the application server as standalone server - which i couldnt find an
equiavlent of with dabo - does dabo serve its bizobjz as a
service,or does it
more import the bizobj objects as in a library type fasion?
The application server design is what I had in mind when I mentioned
that we needed to add sessioning in order for a web interface to Dabo
to be possible. Right now, the business objects are completely "fat-
client": copies are local to each user's machine. We do plan on
adding a more thin-client design with a server-based approach, which
will allow for a more distributed approach and low-end client
machines, but that will not be coming until we get the 1.0 release
out the door.
