Proposal: Motif Widget set


Now that the Open Group has announced "Open Motif", I believe it now meets
the requirements that was outlined for it to be included in the written
specification.

http://www.debian.org/Lists-Archives/lsb-spec-9911/msg00008.html

+ there is a stable open standard (best if the standard is available for
free or on the web)
+ there is an open source(1) implementation (LGPL okay, GPL not.  Qt 2.0
probably okay, Qt 1.0 not.)
+ there is an open source test suite
+ the Linux community was behind the toolkit

I would like to propose that Motif 2.1.X APIs be added to the LSB written
specification.   I'm not proposing mwm(1)...

http://www.opengroup.org/openmotif/

I'll volunteer to do the work to get it included in the LSB's database, and
I'll write the SGML.
