Wt GSoC 2010

Here is my list of ideas that are related to Wt, maybe they would fit for Wt GSoC 2010.

1. as about qt-wt integration: Considering that even well tuned browsers like the webkit based ones on embedded devices, would make sense to create a rendering engine for wt, that interacts with the Qt Declarative UI (QML). Such a combination would result in a very fast client and very fast server for deploying services on embedded devices

2. Implement WSqlQuery/WSqlModel etc family, as QSqlQuery/QSqlQueryModel . The Wt::Dbo family is nice, but they do not provide at the moment the integration with views.

3. The already proposed idea about using Qt Designer to design Wt widgets, might be a wrong direction. In my opinion a better solution would be to create a Wt application that would allow the construction of “empty” widgets, through a web application. The advantage of this approach is that contrary to Wt Designer, the widgets would render on the final web application as they render in the Wt. The product of this designer wt application would be a html template. Any .ui interface etc. would mean unnecessary overhead in the development cycle etc. etc.

Long life Babelengine, the c++ web framework

A new open-source project started: babelengine. The intention is to design and implement in C++ a highly modular web 2 application framework (CMS, but not only). The framework will make intensive use of the existing WT toolkit.The framework will include powerful language and translation features and should become a powerful tool for multi-language web platforms. Thus the name babel-engine. I hope you will like the name :).

At the moment http://babelengine.org will host a forum, where we can discuss ideas, features, plans about the project.
