Hi,
I'm back to this subject, because, as you probably know, the
proposal[1] has been accepted[2] and has to be merged with mine[3]
and discussed a bit to understand what we have to do and who can help.

In a first read i understood the idea was to provide a new gui
abstraction layer, and you told me the suggested libYui library
is written in C++ with some script bindings (one for all perl) and
since I'm not a perl programmer and i know C++ and QT (something on GTk
also) i could help.
So should i assume you want to rewrite all?
Steven, can you please point me and other potential contributors
to your plans?
Planning is also needed to our proposal to be definitely accepted :)

I don't have a lot of spare time, but i will help as much as possible.

Matteo Pasotti is adding libyui to mageia repository so we could
start using it, I do also believe he's going to help us as well :)

Let's start this new adventure...

Cheers,
	Angelo
