Project info for gnome-filer

Created 3 Apr 2000 at 19:52 UTC by tony, last modified 11 Jan 2001 at 18:00 UTC by tony.

Notes: The gnome-filer is no longer maintained.

Instead, look at Entity, which has much better potential.

Gnome-filer is intended to be a GUI RAD development environment for database applications, using GnomeDB as the database abstraction layer. GF is fully buzzword-compliant, I'm sure. The architecture is based on plug-ins. Each component is loaded at run-time-- this includes Gnome and GTK+ objects, as well as language bindings. The first (incomplete) implementation had a Perl plug-in; I plan on adding Python, Guile, C, and as many others as possible. The current re-write uses object plug-ins for the interface. This helps me figure out implementation and API details.
