Can we get 'D' to v1.0 first?

I'd guess W. wants DWT ported to linux and mac around the time D 1.0 
comes out, so he can use DWT as a marketing tool for D 1.0.

How do you think having version 1.0 before embracing a standard D GUI 
will help?

Just a mindset thing. The actual version or release number of D isn't
really the issue. Instead I see the prioritization of the effort still to
go to make D a stable and workable platform for such a GUI library. 

In other words, I think that there are lot's of other issues to be
addressed *before* Walter's time is taken up with this issue.

I suspect Walter's stamp of approval is mostly a way to focus "our" 
effort on a common goal moreso than anything else.  Since DWT likely 
doesn't require any additional language support, there's no need for 
Walter's involvement beyond some occasional steering.  Unless perhaps he 
has a Java front-end sitting around that he wants to devote to the 
automated translation effort.

The idea isn't to take up my time, I won't be working on DWT. The idea is to 
give encouragement to those already hard at work on DWT, and to hopefully 
rally others to help them finish.

This is a good thing. I will eventually have plenty of things to 
discuss.  Please don't expect anything for the next few days... I'm away 
for a bit.

Thank you for setting this group up.  It should help the endeavor.

Now that I think about it .. shouldn't it be a general gui NG instead? 
Since we didn't decide yet to endrose any specific GUI?

Maybe if you ask nicely, Walter will create a digitalmars.D.* 'group for 
your GUI library.  But who knows?

But yes, a digitalmars.D.gui 'group would be useful, as it would provide 
a place for:
- general discussion of GUI programming
- comparisons of GUI libraries
- discussion of how to implement GUI features in a library
- discussion on specific GUI libraries

Mr. Bright,
than it would be fair if You setup digitalmars.D.dfl, digitalmars.D.minwin,
digitalmars.D.wxd and digitalmars.D.dui newsgroups as those are serious
competition to DWT.
I personally prefer MinWin over all others... Now I feel like DWT is
considered like "preferred" D GUI, which is far from true.

Kind regards
