[svlug] Cross-platform GUIs

[John Mark Walker]

Ok, I'm a little late to this party, but has anyone mentioned XPCOM + XUL? 
ie. the cool stuff from the bloatware project formerly known as Mozilla. I 
don't think you can get more cross-platform than that, and it's completely 
free. (My apologies if this has already been mentioned)

I believe you can create stand-alone XPCOM libs to distribute with an app 
in case the user doesn't have Mozilla - or if they have *nix and their 
Mozilla libs aren't in a useful location <insert rant on shared libs 
here>.

The main problem for developers is documentation, but that might be fixed 
soon if I can find an author to write about it ;)

I've never used it, but I've been looking for a test project as an excuse 
to learn.
