Hi all.

I'd very much like to see some features added to broadway to make it usable
for me. I'd be building commerical apps with it ( using Perl / Gtk3 ), and
could throw some money into getting it up to the level I need, if that
would actually help.

Basically what I need is a proper multiplexing display server, and some
form of security. I've discussed this briefly in other posts to this list.
The basic flow I see would be:

1) User hits some generic login page, and authentication happens ( either
as a part of broadway, or via some other cgi / whatever logic )

2) Authenticated user's details are passed back to broadwayd, which looks
for an existing session with an app. If a session exists, user is
reconnected to it. Otherwise broadwayd spawns a new instance of the
configured app on some port, and starts proxying the user to this port.

I don't know if this matches what other people had in mind - in particular
whoever has written the current broadwayd. Anyway, how far off this are we,
both in terms of developer-hours, and money people would be happy to accept
for making this happen?

Alternatively, if someone is interested in mentoring me, I'd consider doing
it myself. I have *basic* C knowledge. I've done some simple patches to a
handful of projects - gtk+, enlightenment 'ecomorph' compositor. That was a
while back. I'd need some help :)

Thoughts?

Dan
