[OT] Any Developers have a second...

[Jason Slack]

Hello All,

If any seasoned software developer has a few minutes, I would like to get a
few opinions. I am by far not new to software development, it is the only
real skill I have and the only career I have ever had.

I have a new task in front of me that I have never had to deal with.
Recently I have used Qt, by Trolltech, CPLAT and wxWidgets as cross platform
GUI toolkits.

A venture capitalist friend of mine approached me last week about developing
a new cross platform GUI toolkit exercising some HIG and other principals
that he feels are important.

I have never developed a cross-platform GUI toolkit and am sort of stumped a
bit on the implementation details.

I was hoping someone could provide thoughts on accomplishing this task.

Thanks

Jason
