[Development] QtQuick QtCS Sessions

[Alan Alpert]

Here are the results and brief summaries of the 3 QtQuick related
sessions, where we came up with some suggested new properties and
types for QtQuick.

Touch and Gestures:
http://qt-project.org/groups/qt-contributors-summit-2014/wiki/QtCS14TouchAndGestures

No real solution other than handling Mouse, Touch, and Gestures
(system gestures, no gesture manager). Also looking into new grab
transfer mechanisms in QtQuick, such as a MouseArea.priority property
for automatic transfer.

QtQuick:
http://qt-project.org/groups/qt-contributors-summit-2014/wiki/QtCS14QtQuick

Proposed new module, QtQmlGui (working title), which exposes non-core
stuff to QML but can be shared between QtQuick and other modules (like
Qt3D). Proposed new types, PolarPositioner, MouseRegion,
TextContainer.

Declarative QML:
http://qt-project.org/groups/qt-contributors-summit-2014/wiki/QtCs14MoreDeclarative

Proposed new property, deferredLoading, on Item, to solve the less
dynamic uses of Loader. Proposed new element, StateChange, to allow
more declarative state changing. Big solutions of pull bindings and a
pragma strictly-declarative are a lot of work, unlikely to occur soon.
