[comp.windows.x] Common widget libraries

reed@edsews.EDS.COM (W. Brad Reed) (12/10/88)

Currently we are struggling to determine an appropriate interim
standard for intrinsics based widget libraries until Core Components
becomes available around mid-1989.

I would be interested in the progress of anyone doing similar work.
If anyone can comment on the work currently in progress by the
Core Component committee at MIT, it could be useful in keeping
everyone on a similar track.

I don't have anything very specific to say right now.  The CC
effort is in full swing, and I'm very encouraged by the level
of participation by the various members of the X Consortium.
Responses to the current CC draft have generated a large number
of small issues and a small number of large issues.  I think
most of these issues are resolvable, and the participants seem
committed to achieving resolution.  But, I would say it's still
early to be able to predict a firm schedule.
