Hello Qters!
I have switched jobs and I can no longer work on Qt in my "spare time" for the
forseable future. I hatched an idea a year ago and some people seemed
interested. I'd like to call interested parties to arms and see if we can't get
this project finished.
I call it "Vaudeville" because GNOME has called theirs "Broadway". It is a
HTML5 renderer that I aim to integrate with QPA. When I started work QPA was
still in flux. perhaps there is a QPA person who can take a few hours and force
it into the current API?
I also need a web person to help with the browser side. I need to collect
browser events and deliver them over a socket to the http server. QPA will then
take that event and issue it to the Qt mainloop.
What I do have going is a pixel-perfect QPainter to HTML5 canvas renderer. If
you don't understand what the importance of this project is, let me say it
bluntly:
You can web-enable any Qt program (v4) with just a recompile against Qt4.8 or
5. I started this work for embedded apps. You can have a remote GUI in a
browser and keep the logic on the device.
The state of the code is shabby. I only have a test program that you can
connect to and it updates the UI via a timer. The font rendering is a touch off
in the anti-aliased parts, but otherwise, pixel perfect.
Is anyone available to help?
Where should I put the code (NOT ready for merge)?
