Well, what I think should be done, is someone makes a browser plugin to run QML. This would inherently be a completely open source replacement for flash and would not be subject to the criticisms of proprietary flash. In order to gain acceptance though, it would take a formal QML specification publishing process, which I don't think Nokia is ready to do. However its complete LGPL openness may be enough to get its foot in the door.
It wouldn't be "hard" but I don't know the first thing about writing browser plugins, or supporting OSX. Wile QGraphicsView could be used as a HTML canvas with a little work, I think the work to make a plugin is much easier. The only technical challenge I see is the flash video part. WebM can stand in, and maybe you can get H.264 bundled... but Flash also has a facility for it to gauge bandwidth to the server and select an appropriate stream quality. You can't ship a plugin without that feature. Not hard to implement, but is a must have, and must work well. ----- Original Message ---- From: QtNext <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, February 3, 2011 2:12:24 AM Subject: [Qt-qml] qml +Qt programming for HTML5 Web site Hi, what's about programming a webSite with the power of Qt, and Qml rendering as HTML5 .... For embedded device control, HTML web page is a good way ... But it will be very good to be able to do that in Qt ... and have a smooth interface in HTML5 done in QML (Qml is just javascript ... and rectangle ...)
