[gwt-contrib] Change in gwt[master]: add Class.getSimpleName to gwt emulation

[James Nelson]

James Nelson has posted comments on this change.

Change subject: add Class.getSimpleName to gwt emulation
..


Patch Set 1:

If we're going to include simple name, how about throwing in Package as  
well; when obfuscation is on, package can be "" and simpleName = name =  
obfuscated name.  With obfuscation off, we have to include the package  
string and simple name, so might as well make them both accessible.


Note: If we do add Package, we'll also have to update the  
IsolatedAppClassLoader in gwt-dev mode, as it sadly strips package  
information.  In my reflection service, gwt-dev needs this ugly bit of code  
to get a package from a class:
 return  
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().loadClass(o.getClass().getName()).getPackage();

Re: [gwt-contrib] Re: gwt rebranding

[James Nelson]

Thanks @ Rob for notifying branding experts.

The consensus from most of the steering committee is that they like the 
logo as well,
and I for one, pretty much agree.
Going way out there on a new logo would lose all built up brand identity 
and is not likely wise.

I only posted that messed up example because I thought of the play on G+T = 
I, 
but it can only work if it looks clean, and I really don't think there is a 
way to do so.

If anything, an updated logo should look like an upgrade, rather than a 
rebrand;
keep the red toolbox idea, and perhaps spell it out in full, GWT.
Too much detail won't scale down well.

I do know a typography expert I can ask about some good looking fonts and 
ways to apply them to a toolbox...

If anyone has any comments or suggestions, please feel free to criticize as 
constructively as possible. :)

Hi,

Very messed up. Letters without order - only knowing people will recognize
what it is about.

I like very much PostgreSQL or MySQL logos - recognizable animal (or other
thing) with clearly written name.

I looked for animals whose names start from G:
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_some_animals_that_begin_with_the_letter_G

I like very much Goat ;)

[gwt-contrib] GWT in Google Summer of Code 2013

[Sergey Tselovalnikov]

Does GWT participates in GSoC 
2013
?

I am very interested in participating in the developing of GWT and would be 
glad to participate as a student in the development of GWT in GSoC. I found 
the last discussion of the GWT in GSoC 2007 
(https://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/GWT_GSoC). I would be 
glad if some contributor applied for GSoC 2013 and wrote a list of ideas 
for the participants. It will be very impetus for the development of new 
versions of GWT. March 18, you can apply for participation in GSoC. Event 
calendar .

[gwt-contrib] Issue # 3520: More Flexible DatePicker

[Nick Harrington]

Hello all,

I've submitted a patch for this issue: 
http://gwt-code-reviews.appspot.com/1894803/
I was wondering if anyone has looked at it since I haven't had any feedback 
in a while.

Thanks,

Re: [gwt-contrib] Re: gwt rebranding

[Rob]

Hi,

I think that you should consider asking for some input from someone with a 
"branding" background.








And, take a look at Google Trends to get an idea of what people are 
searching for.  And, what your "call to action" should be.  And, maybe you 
consider bumping the version number to "5" - GWT 5 Rocks !

BTW, I am not a "branding" person but I have forwarded this post to two 
people I know who are and asked them for suggestions, etc.

Cheers
Rob

File dev/core/src/com/google/gwt/dev/js/JsNamer.java
Line 131:   blacklist.add(ident.trim());
Suppose js.identifier.blacklist.suffixes has a trailing comma. I think that  
means we put the empty string in the blacklist and isAvailableIdent()  
always returns false. Seems like it might be confusing.



Line 156:   if (lcIdent.endsWith(suffix)) {
If a suffix contains any capital letters, it will never match.

Thats what I think too. It should be modernized a bit but overall still 
contain a toolbox and "GWT" in a nifty, modern type face. Maybe its 
possible to reduce most of the details of the toolbox and convert the logo 
to a clean, modern, pure vector logo. Nothing fancy.

Re: [gwt-contrib] Re: gwt rebranding

[Kerry Wilson]

I actually like the current logo.  However, I do believe an update would be
good.  My idea is to flatten it and replace g with gwt.  Something like the
quick draft I have attached.  This is just a toolbox icon I found on the
internet, if I had better graphic design skillz I would make one that
looked more the current logo flattened, with a gradient sheen on the top to
give the lid some depth.

I am a fan of web technologies that 'eat their own dog food'.  Is the plan
for gwtproject.org to build a site using GWT?

Here is an extremely crude mockup of an idea I had...
For those talking about how it is pronounced Gwit, but still spelled GWT,
I suggest some play on words using the T on the G.




Also, I hope it's very obvious that I'm a programmer and not a designer...

[gwt-contrib] gwt rebranding

[Daniel Kurka]

Crosspost from gwt-steering:
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/gwt-steering/q9bSOldSBFU/ki5nQk39fJ8J



Hi everyone,

a few days back an interesting thought was raised on the GWT Google+ Group (
https://plus.google.com/u/0/106897772465935627996/posts/MRfCM6GxS6n):

GWT should rebrand

It was suggested that we tink about a few thinks:

- a new logo
- built with GWT badge
- a new nicer looking ui theme
- a better position on developer.google.com
- a nice looking website
- more documentation highlighting html5 features

I want to split this up in several packages that we can start working on.

logo:
I think Christian is already working on a logo?!
How is that coming along? Is there anything we can help with?

gwt badge:
I think a "built with GWT badge" is a good idea, but we could look at this 
a little broader. I would like to see a section on the new GWT homepage 
about people using GWT and great applications that are built with GWT. I 
have no clear idea on how to decide which applications are great and should 
be listed, maybe we can leave that to the community to vote on.

homepage:
We already reserved gwtproject.org and have some information on it about 
contributing to GWT, but it can serve as a lot more. I want to dedicate 
some time to improve gwtproject.org once I get settled in my new job with 
the GWT team at Google (I will be moving in the next week and living out of 
a hotel, so I don`t expect anything yet in the next weeks).
I already had some people contacting me about helping out with the homepage 
and I would volunteer to coordinate efforts if thats fine with everyone.

The starting point for the homepage could be:

1. A simple top level page with a few main links (think about chromium.org)
2. Split between steering / contributing & user space
3. Build up the steering part and how to contribute to GWT first.
4. Over time migrate all documentation to gwtproject.org as well as "people 
using" / tutorials / talks and many more resources.

Currently gwtproject is running on app engine. So anything we build should 
be easily working with app engine.


Looking forward to hearing your thoughts about this

-Daniel
