Re: [E-devel] [Gsoc] the presentation tools
Hi Atton, Thanks for your mail and thanks for working on the project. I'm very interested in it because it may be an easier solution than powerdot for LaTeX to create graphically beautiful presentations. I just wanted to ensure that one can write the presentation input file in any editor and compile it with a simple commandline-utility, like LaTeX. Is this the case? I'm not really interested in a GUI except for creating schemes. Please update us on the progress and when you need help in testing, I'm available for testing it :).

About the file which describes the presentation, we plan to use the same syntax as edje. So we can use the source code of edje_cc as a base for the compiler and maintain the app will be more easy for the community. Ok, having something like that is good. However I'd make EET the file format, not text. Then we can use another tool to generate and load it more easily. And it can pack images and fonts as well. Ah, something that would be good is to have the file as edje-compatible, then we could just add every resource as edje (images, fonts) and merge edjes. Then you just add your own description using another namespace. Your presentation tool would then load this presentation descriptor and display required edje groups. -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri http://profusion.mobi embedded systems -- MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (19) 9225-2202 - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Re: [E-devel] [Gsoc] the presentation tools
Hi Chady, * [23.05.08 09:49]: Thinking of the target audience, who is really interested in creating presentations? Everybody somewhen at some time? :) With that in mind, would that person be really interested in creating their presentation in a text file or are they more interested in concentrating on the presentation itself? Both should be possible. I just mentioned 'my way' to ensure it is not forgotten about and some GUI is *necessary* for creating presentations in the end - we should let the user decide what he wants...

Re: [E-devel] [Gsoc] the presentation tools
What I'd like to have would be an real simple solution, in the best case human-readable plain-text (no TeX or html code) and letting the presenter render it to make it nice and shiny. Why not use something like Textile[1] or similar solutions [2] [3]? Additional just use edje-templates to define the style. Would be extremely easy for the user, look nice and consistent, and not such a giant waste of time like Powerpoint, OOImpress, LaTeX and so on. And you can concentrate on the content only, not on irrelevant side work. Looking forward what you'll bring us.
