Re: [Liberty-eiffel] Vision sufficiently dead?

[Raphael Mack]

Vision is/was a (Smart)Eiffel library to create GUIs. It was part of  
the SmartEiffel-distribution and it was not imported into the liberty  
source tree. I did never take a very close look, but when I see the  
TODO-list it seems to be still a long way until it is really usable to  
create advanced well-looking GUIs.

Maybe one can compare the idea behind vision with swing in Java, but  
the implementation was not "finished".

Yes, there are interesting concepts and it would be very cool to have  
vision in Liberty, but without someone who has time and will to go for  
this big amount of work I fear it is not a good idea to import the  
sources...

Any volunteers?
