Fwd: [ANN] QEdje 0.1

[Caio Marcelo]

Hello guys, we've just announced the project in qt-interest, but I
think this could be specially interesting for Plasma (at least to
provide ideas). I'll speak more informally here :-)

Edje is used by E17 and is part of what we call EFL (Enlightenment
Foundation Libraries). The name refers both to the declarative
language but also the library that implements the mechanism.

A *very simple* explanation is: you describe UI elements using Edje (a
button, or a complex thing), it emits signals (strings) and can react
to signals (like fading away when receive "disable" signal). Then the
libedje allows you to create elements in canvas (Evas_Objects) that
behaves like described in the Edje files.

I'm new to Plasma, but I think some ideas in Edje could be useful for
you guys, maybe even allowing using Edje to create plasmoids :-)

Hello,

We at OpenBossa (opensource stream of INdT) are pleased to announce the
first version of QEdje, a library that enables the use of Edje
components in Qt4.

Edje is a declarative language that simplifies the development of
complex interfaces separating the UI design from the application logic,
by providing animations, layouts and simple scripts in a very small
memory footprint.

We are going to give a talk about QEdje and related research in this
year's Akademy "Embedded and Mobile Day"

  http://akademy.kde.org/events/emmobile.php#efl


Some of the developers have written about it, see

The project website is

  http://dev.openbossa.org/qedje

and there's also a mailing list, more information at

  http://groups.google.com/group/qedje

The project IRC channel is #qedje at FreeNode.
