and as somebody else suggested, an OOP GUI abstraction library, to help with better portability between GUI systems, so that each OS or user may chose their own GUI and programs will still be easily portable
that idea to get QT stuff from other platforms ported sounds good... if its possible

The problem with this is that you would then be reinventing the wheel when such an OOP GUI library already exists for all of the platforms:  MUI.

Some folk will go "MUI is commercial, can't use that" and forget about Zune, which could be ported to AOS4 simply, to replace the shareware MUI with a fully compatable replacement.  (MOS comes with the full MUI already, so that is not an issue)

And no, ReAction is not based on BOOPSI, but on ClassAct.

But the idea behind OpenAmiga was to create specifications.  What is there now is a preliminary list only.  Want to define more, or work out more, then join in!
