RE: Mission Statement

Good start.  I have one other suggestion: put the document in the CVS
repository (haskell-report/gui, say.  We already have
haskell-report/report and haskell-report/ffi)
That way participants can modify typos directly, add comments etc.

| Subject: [GUI] Mission Statement
| 
| Hi,
| 
| I tried to formulate a Mission Statement and I invite people to review
it.
| It is Section 3 in the same document in which I gathered initial
opinions:
| 
| http://www.cs.ukc.ac.uk/people/staff/as49/poll.pdf
| 
| It basically says what the Common GUI API is. In my opinion it would
be
| beneficial for us to agree on something like this statement. Otherwise
I
| fear people will restart discussions on topics for which we already
| reached a consensus.
| 
| Section 4 contains some comments from the GUI programmer perspective.
| Comments on this are welcome as well.
| 
| In the near future I will browse through the achieves and extract
| opinions on the technical topics in Section 5. Before we agree on
anything
| there, I think it would be a good idea to agree on the core. Daan, is
the
| last version of the GIO core you posted what you propose as core? If
so, I
| will add it to the document for scrutinization.
| 
| Thanks for comments,
| Axel.
