Vnstat GUI in JavaFX

After long analysis and exploration about the technology to use in developing the new gui project, i decided i'll go with the lates JavaFX. Evaluated java-gnome also. But the lot goes to JavaFX. One of the main thing which strikes me with JavaFX is the richness in creating gui applications and the easiness in porting the this app to web with less effort. The prototype is on her way and is in the very basic stage. Once the prototype is done, my plan is to create the project in google code and invite opensource developers around the world to contribute. All folks who are interested in playing with JavaFX and Linux can join and contribute. The prototype which really influence me is the StockWatcher sample application. The vnstat gui will also look similar to this interface only. Keep watch this space for more updates.
