[wxpython-users] Google Summer of Code - application deadline extended

[Peter Damoc]

Another idea:

- A predefined AppFrame framework that will allow rapid creation of
applications following a certain user interaction paradigm.
I'm thinking about something like what you see in iTunes, IPhoto, Finder:
  -  TopBar+SplitCenter+BottomBar
  -  The Split Center should be a simple 2 sides split with the first taking
a "zone/subzone selection" control that is a 2 level tree and a the second
panel from the split being the actual zone that is selected.
  -  The way to build applications with this framework would be by defining
the Zones and having the framework create the left panel automatically from
the zone definition.
  -  The Top and Bottom toolbars should respect FIXED vertical sizes for
uniformity.

The main advantage to such a framework is that it will skyrocket the "cool"
factor of wxPython and maybe attract more new users. Another advantage is
that it will encourage code decoupling (at least I think it will).
