Fwd: GSoC Intro - TUI interface for QMP

[Niteesh G. S.]

Hello all,

I am Niteesh, one of the students selected under Google Summer of Code 2021

to work on the project Interactive, asynchronous QMP TUI.

Link to my proposal: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o_U9txCyqZDYIqqhj4V0IEO9-20KY2pb4egi75ueXco/edit?usp=sharing

The goal of this project is to get an interactive and asynchronous TUI interface

that is capable of connecting to the AQMP server and communicate with it.

My experience with async stuff and AQMP is writing a chat application to

better understand python's asyncio and trying to connect the UI to AQMP.

The UI built for chatting basically worked as a primitive interface to send and

receive QMP commands. The below video demonstrates this.

By end of this summer, I would like to get a basic TUI with some desirable

features working. Some of the features I would like to get working are

1) Syntax checking

2) Syntax highlighting

3) Code completion

4) Logging

I would like to hear some of the features you would like to have and also your

advice's on implementation.

PS: If you are seeing the mail twice, sorry, I forgot to include the mailing list

in the first time.

Thanks,

Niteesh
