Hi Vaibhav,
Nice to see you working on LibreCAD.
I saw your proposal and have a few questions mentioned on the doc itself.
One of the most important thoughts I had while thinking of this model was that we don't need dependencies on any sort of libraries that don't get into with LibreCAD license. If the work is not much, we ourselves can develop that module but if work is much, maintenance and there are already good libraries available for the same, we might use them via this plugin interface.
For example LibDXFrw or LibreDWG to read DWG/DXF Files, instead of incorporating into librecad we use it via interface, are you able to understand this?
I again have this question from you, how do you see the GUI if the JSON interface is implemented? I'd like to know your thoughts regarding how do you see LibreCAD 3 implemented? The information in the proposal is fine but it can be an expansion of the information written on my blog as well. So I want to know what knowledge you have regarding LibreCAD history, design decisions, approaches previously used etc.
Some personal advice,
Please use a spell checker.
Also if you have any questions, doubts, try to post them on Forum or IRC ( as in open discussion ) instead of private communications. It will be much helpful in future for reference purposes.
