    Graham: How might Glass impact on Synapse ?
  5. Graham

    We might start using the Glass GUI manager ...

    What would Glass allow Synapse to do that it currently doesn't have ?

    How does RebGUI fit in with all this ?

    Glass uses a dataflow engine which might make the GUI easier to handle ... but it's not proven yet. And it's incomplete.

    Can you give a simple explanation of what problems it solves ?

    A much more modern look, the ability to link fields to each other automatically, better keyboard control .. but it's a long way off yet.

    I take it ... is still a ways off :)
