[PEPr] Comment on Structures::Structures_Form

bertrand Gugger (http://pear.php.net/user/toggg) has commented on the proposal for Structures::Structures_Form. Comment: It's lot of work ! A very large API. Unfortunately, the requirements prohibit some test on the machines I own (must upgrade :) ). Anyway, I have the feeling it should be possible to implement easily a versatile interface for simple forms with it , at least with Gtk2 and QF. I'm more dubious about a raw text CLI one ... but not impossible, certainly. I think it allows the major part of the form to be defined commonly, just a very few basic steps will have to be separated in the userland. (the interface detection or some "post" operations as the main loop Gtk::main()) Some little things: * first release should only be 0.1.0 , proposals should use 0.0.x * you define constants for the pathes, I'm not sure it's usefull, anyway, you should use them consistently and not alternatively with the string as in registerElementSet() * I dislike the implementers file structure, I fear it will be confusing to have e.g. all Gtk2 and QF elements mixed under Form/Element/ , it would be cleaner to make some Form/Element/Gtk2/ and Form/Element/QF/ subfolders. Same for Group and Renderer. That instead of prefixing the script names with Gtk2... or QF... * Does not QF allows array elements ? More generally, are the interfaces complete enough to get a maximal compatibility with QF ? I unfortunately dont know it enough to answer that myself.
