That sounds good. It looks to me like the code on that wiki page is mostly of the "conversational programming" sort, where a GUI window asks the user to poke & prod buttons and things to make some g-code. If so, it might fit in the "wizards.git" repo we have at git.linuxcnc.org: http://git.linuxcnc.org/gitweb?p=wizards.git;a=summary That repo has been sort of orphaned, perhaps eclipsed by things like ngcgui and (maybe) NativeCAM. I think there's room for a new open source project to unify all these different implementations of the conversational programming concept that people seem to like. Many of the LinuxCNC GUIs can make tabs from external programs, so we have at least the beginning of a unified interface from these conversational-programming GUIs to our regular machine-control GUIs. A developer who wanted to unify and merge the ideas from the different conversational projects could do a lot of good for our ecosystem. -- Sebastian Kuzminsky ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
