I've been reading the recent xastir-ng threads with some interest, and while the programming language, programming paradigms and supported platforms are interesting questions, I guess the functional (and non-functional) requirements should be determined first !?
What are we trying to accomplish, why isn't Xastir good enough? Are we looking out for handling more and different protocols (AIS, Mode-S ES, ...) ? Do we want to support an instance without a GUI (for serving objects, alerts, message handling) ? Do we want to support small devices (how small? PDAs, phones, AVR, PIC) ? Do we want to have possibility for different GUIs, or is a single GUI like the current good enough? What are the operations we would like to perform in the GUI (as users) ? I haven't really been more involved with xastir other than as a user for many years, and submitter of a very small number of patches, but I am interested in helping here.. --Magne / LA1BFA _______________________________________________ Xastir-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir-dev
