Feature changed by: Sharque uddin Ahmed Farooqui (safknw) Feature #306968, revision 5 Title: rewrite yast in C# openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Sharque uddin Ahmed Farooqui (safknw) Description: Yast is the best control panel for any distro. It has become quite big and it has alot of modules and many more to come Since yast is written in its own language ( http://en.opensuse.org/YaST/Research/Make_YaST_Independent_of_YCP ) which quite few people know, so it is difficult others to get involved. I think we should start thinking about rewriting yast in a popular and advanced () language like C++, python or C#.... It will make development of yast faster and people find it easy to write modules according their own requirements. My suggestion is to write it in C#. Writing it in such an advance can make app arch much simpler and also make it easy to maintain. My target release is 12.0, since it is not in option so I'm selecting 11.3 . My idea is to write back-end library in C# and gui in both GTk and QT/Kde for gnome and KDE users respectively. We can have binding for other languages (like python and ruby) as well. Sharique Discussion: #1: Armindo Díaz Argaña (armindiaz) (2009-07-28 19:55:14) Totally disagree! The last language we should pursue is Mono / .NET QT consider first, then other languages, but nothing that has to do with Mono + #2: Sharque uddin Ahmed Farooqui (safknw) (2009-07-29 15:41:25) (reply + to #1) + Can you explain disagreement? C# is ECMA standard, so it should not be + a problem. + Qt is Gui toolkit not a language. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/306968
