Hi,
And the marketing team needs something badly so they decided to get
Rémi working on Tux Widgets
Nothing surprizing, according to this article
http://seo-space.blogspot.com/2007/01/top-100-marketing-buzzwords-of-2007.html
"widget marketing" is number 36 in the Top 100 Marketing Buzzwords of
2007.
Not bad at all! ;-) your marketing team is really à-la-page!
That doesn't mean it's a bad idea.
Just pay attention to not be captured in a rigid framework (even if
you're free within the framework).
I do not want to have to install Gnome libs on my NSLU2 ;-)
me neither :-)
Actually widgets is just the name and corresponds to the idea of having a
framework that accepts a lot of very light applications that evrybody can
build. So the idea here is to have a manager for tux scripts, that's all.
There's no plan for graphical interfaces yet for every widget, only the
manager will have some basic GUI to handle the widgets. We more or less
want to focus on the use of tux when the user is not in front of his
computer, we don't need to compete with classic widgets, the clock will
use tux to say the time, the alarm will make tux ring,... nothing on the
computer side.
So really it's just a master application to handle multiple scripts and
which uses the API to communicate with tux. The framework should not add
any other dependency that the API/daemon currently have.
I'll try to be the relay between the ML/wiki/IRC and Rémi.
Why is Rémi so shy? :-)
He's coming from the M$ world and has always been a solo developer so he's
not used to the community way of life :-), but now his wife will give
birth in the coming days and he relocated recently too and doesn't get
internet access yet...
