Hi,

For those who don't know me, I am the author of the educational software 
GCompris (http://gcompris.net) which is a non core Gnome project based on gtk+.

As many projects, our users are expecting us to deliver a version for the major 
tablet operating systems, but sadly, there is no easy way to port a gtk+ 
application on Android or iOS.

I am thus currently working on a plan to port GCompris to another graphical 
toolkit that would allow GCompris to target the main desktops and tablets 
operating systems from a single code base.

After looking at different choices, I found that the Qt Quick technology 
(Qt/QML/Javascript) was an interesting choice for GCompris. I am currently 
working on a prototype to validate that it suits all our needs. Of course this 
is a major work. Even if I could code a layer to run GCompris activities on Qt, 
it would not look as polished than a native one. So the idea is really to 
rewrite GCompris, keeping only the concepts, data, images, sounds and 
translations.

As you imagine a rewrite will not happens overnight and I will continue to 
maintain the gtk+ version of GCompris until the Qt version is on par in terms 
of functionality.

Bruno.
