DWT in Google Summer of Code?

Hello,

How about improving DWT as part of Google Summer of Code?
I thing a stable GUI library is very important for D.

What do you think?

DWT repository moved to github

I've now moved the DWT repository to github. The old mercurial 
repository is split into several repository, all available under an 
organization: https://github.com/d-widget-toolkit

The dwt repository acts like a super repository. It has git submodules 
for the base, SWT Linux and Windows and snippets projects. It also 
contains the build script.

https://github.com/d-widget-toolkit/dwt

Use these commands to clone the repository and get all submodules:

$ git clone git://github.com/d-widget-toolkit/dwt.git
$ git submodule init
$ git submodule update

Because the java files are named like that: 
http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.swt.git/tree/examples/org.eclipse.swt.snippets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets

I don't know, maybe. There will always be things that the script can't 
automatically translate. But you are free to create a script and if it's 
good enough it can be added to the dwt repository.

Yes, all browser related code have only been ported for linux. I have no 
idea if it still works or not. If I recall correctly it didn't work very 
well when I tried it last time.

GitHub allows any repo size, as long as it's public, really. The 300 MB 
is not a hard limit, and they will generally not complain about larger 
sizes if you're public.

(I contacted GitHub support about this.)

I've used it as well, it's not good but it's the best console I've found 
on Windows.

While I installed msysgit, I usually just run git from powershell. My log 
viewer is just gitk and diffs are in gvim. Your problems with exist in 
every command prompt I've used in windows, though right click works for 
me even though I've seen others where it does not.

Would GIT submodules be a good idea?

Since it seems that everyone is ok with git I will move the DWT2 
repository to github. That leads to the next question: Would git 
submodules be a good idea? I haven't use submodules myself my it sounds 
good in theory. I'm thinking about having sub repository for basically 
every top level directory in the current repository. One repsository for 
jface, one for dwt-win, one for dwt-linux and so on. What do you think?

Move DWT2 repository - github or bitbucket?

I'm planning to move the DWT2 repository to either github or bitbucket. 
Which one would you prefer?
