[Development] GCompris goes the Qt Quick route

[Bruno Coudoin]

Hi,

For those who don't know me, I am the author of the educational software 
GCompris (http://gcompris.net). The project started in 2000 and is based 
on Gtk+.

As you imagine, many users are requesting us a tablet version of 
GCompris and I tried to evaluate the different technical possibilities 
to bring GCompris to this world.

After some research, I found that the Qt Quick technology was an 
excellent choice for the future of GCompris. Sadly there is no easy 
migration path and this implies a full rewrite. It is true that the 
migration will take time, probably several years but this is something 
we have to do if we want to stay relevant in the coming years.

Expect our little community to be around to gather help on Qt Quick.

Bruno.
