So here come my ideas



There is still the lack of a good D Gui Library.
Currently some GUI's are still under development (most projects on 
dsoure are abandoned!), but none of them are really perfect D-GUI's
* GtkD -> good and stable, but a D wrapper around a C-library
* DWT  -> also good, but a port from Java and not really D-like coded
* DFL  -> windows only, a way too .Net-like, is currently not very 
active (abandoned?)
* ... all others I know are unmature and abandoned (tell me, if I'm 
wrong here!)

So there comes 2 ideas to my mind:


- Abstraction Layer for OS independent (Win/Linux/OSX/?) GUI development
   * Just basic structures/functions/classes for Window creation,
   event handling, ...
   This could be used not only by a Standard-D-Gui-library,
   but also by other Gui-libraries for D

- Design of a OS independent GUI-toolkit
   * class-diagramm, basicstuctures, ...

This could be the beginning of a Community-driven development of a good 
D-GUI-library which eventualy could find its way into phobos ... ?
