[Clipart] Fwd: Re: resurrecting the clipart browser project

[enzoaeneas at gmail.com]

So far I have checked out pyGTK (with Cairo) and wxPython (with wxSVG).  
They are about even among interested parties so far, but voting is still  
open.
Other possibilities include pyQt (with QtSVG) and Mozilla Gecko (SVG  
support is built-in, has python bindings)

I like Martin Owens' idea of creating a library capable of being integrated  
into other projects, so I am looking at separating the application into  
these logical parts:

1. OCAL repository abstraction (local and remote)
2. Interface/contract for UI
3. Implement UI using different GUI toolkits, starting with voted favorite.
4. Implement command line renderer (for software that does not have python  
integration).


The Google code project (http://code.google.com/p/ocal-browser/)
has a Google Group now:
http://groups.google.com/group/ocal-browser-discuss/topics

Join and contribute if you have ideas or comments.
