Well, throwing it out there as a web standard I think would raise some eyebrows, get the attention, and make it hugely successful. People have been crying for a open source flash replacement. Tools like gnash don't fix the problem, as they don't compile the binary.
I think all that would be needed is a reference implementation that is a browser plugin on OSX, Windows and Linux. We've got a chicken and egg problem. But getting one will produce the other eventually. I think having it as a web standard would help get both the quickest. -J On Jul 20, 2010, at 9:33 AM, Ivan De Marino <ivan.de.mar...@gmail.com> wrote: > I don't think QML needs to 'prove itself'. > I didn't mean in a technological sense. > I think QML is brilliant and I'm being an advocate of it myself. > > But we, around the Qt area, are the only one really aware of what it is. > It needs to reach a wider audience, and a wider knowledge base, to become a > serious candidate. > > That's what I meant. > > > From: "simon.tur...@nokia.com" <simon.tur...@nokia.com> > > Cc: qt-qml@trolltech.com > Sent: Fri, July 16, 2010 9:39:43 AM > > Subject: Re: [Qt-qml] Standards? > > Well, you could pick up the Qt on NaCl baton and help take that that forward. > > > > http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2010/06/25/qt-for-google-native-client-preview/ > > > > From: qt-qml-boun...@trolltech.com [mailto:qt-qml-boun...@trolltech.com] On > Behalf Of ext Ivan De Marino > Sent: 16 July 2010 12:31 > To: Jason H > Cc: qt-qml@trolltech.com > Subject: Re: [Qt-qml] Standards? > > > > If with "submit QML as web standard" you mean to "submit QML to W3C for > standardization", I guess you should bear in mind that Flash ISN'T a standard. > > I just happened to become widely used because filled a gap that HTML (and > relata) on it's own couldn't. > > > > I would love though to be able to develop stuff in QML and have it running > within a browser. > > Problem is, we would fall into the trap of User requiring to install another > plugin so that a QML-player could sit into an "<object>" tag. > > > > Other options could be to extend the <canvas> set of context to support a > "QML context".
