Comment(by mike123):
Thanks, I will ask, if dooble can more step by step forward to the
requirements.
From the process now, I think your are a team, with which one can talk.
ThatÂs great. From the dooble team we can say that not all is easy, but if
you see the excellent dooble code and excellent dooble comments and code
codumentation, I think all the technicians from our and your side are
excellent technical experts. Dunno how the dooble maintainer reacts for
this inititative, but we will know with the beginning of the week, This is
not a request to abdandon all your good work, it is a request to install a
better alternative and an approach to have a real open source browser with
a high security aspect for the users used. Dooble is a ver very small
team, developer, who donates a lot of sparetime. there is no money or
industry thinking behind it. Its all private, excellence coding for
private users. So we understand what hard coding is and so your experience
is requested, not to abandon you latest work. Your experience invested in
a new secure browser combination with tor. For that, indeed the question
is, if dooble is at the level to meet requirements, if not, we could move
step by step into that direction.
So thanks for keeping your mind up and open and to guide us.
From holding the bag.. we develop a browser. That goes on, to move
together, this might be here and there a little tweak, but it is not
impossible.
What we need is the tor steering process, that has then to be done by you,
as we only can integrate that. So, after the evaluation says, if would be
possible, My suggestion would be, to make a tab inside dooble to steer
tor. That is the idea to switch from a tor button to a tor tab.
The or tab is a Qt plugin, e.g. fro windows a Dll. Dooble already supports
Addons, There is the Chat Messenger Addon http://interface.sf.net
distributed by default with the windows installer. interface.dll is added
in the plugins directory.
This is a simple model how to add as well another tab. the tor tab.
We could compile vifalia Qt gui for tor into that or create a new qt
simple steering gui for tor. So here you come into the frame, we could do
that in a dooble svn-branach, or create an own project tortab.sf.net, if
you agree, please register before it is taken. I would assign the icon and
design part of the tab.
The code for the Qt host of the plugin is as well in this svn
http://interface.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/interface/communicator/guichat/trunk
/plugin-host/
so we need not to develop/test in dooble. While we start the tortab
project, dooble already has the code to accept the plugin, and could start
the development to improve and meet requirements.
Please let me know, if that could be a model, where the branch should be
and add me to the project.
As my supervisor says always, use the most modern technology, I think I
understand to stick to all the good work, but to go ahread with
developement means to exchange experience. See VLC media player, they
changed as well to Qt, very quick and have 5 Mio downloads per day or
week. Change is something different than thoughing away. We together want
to create (new). Thanks.
