Yet another post for Desktop Client

[abhishek0]

Hello all,

I am a student aspiring for GSOC 2010. With my interest in developing a Desktop Client for DreamWidth I would love to have some feedback from the mentors. My job is develop the app but the basic structure of the app is yet not firmly laid. It would be nice to know what kind of GUI will fit DreamWidth. How many frames are required, the functionalities of the back end of the GUI, the implementation language(JAVA is good but QT is also as good; I would love to go for QT). With this discussion, the depth of the project shall become clear. I hope the mentors shall respond back with the answer.

Thank You.

I am quite fond of xJournal and its interface, but it's not being updated any more.

The one thing that drives me nuts is the very rigid hierarchy and columns in the History layout. But other than that, it's a good model for a usable client.

Just a response

Hmmm.. As far, I haev not yet developed anything for the MAC-OS but it would be an interesting task in development for MAC. I have the virtualisation all set up, ain't got a MACBOOK, and so I think development can get on all virtually :)
