Saying nay to a bad idea is a good thing. > I belive that qt3 will stay of a (long) while yet. That's it... what I don't like is opposing an agreed good idea with the argument "don't you have anything better to do". BTW on a side note: did anybody else notice how good it is that we have GUI front-end independence, even if one would hold that having multiple front-ends is undesirable: LyX contains a number of external elements that evolve in time, like C++, boost, and the GUI toolkit(s). Of these, C++ is standardised and unchanging (even if the compiler is not), boost a bit less so. But the most volatile external element is the GUI. It is actively developed and changes rapidly. And thanks to GUI-I, we could just drop in Abdel's qt4 without in any way destabilising the rest of LyX. Great isn't it? Another BTW: when will be have the 'personal' or 'sandbox' branch directory? We have SVN now but psychologically we're still in CVS. - Martin
