= Goals =
The basic goal of the project is to replace the current KWWidgets-based GUI with Qt. It is anticipated that the following benefits will result:

# Better support for Qt versus KWWidgets. This includes:
## Community support (more developers and users)
## Programming reference and training materials
## Design tools (e.g., Qt Designer)
# Qt has advanced programming constructs (e.g., signals and slots)
# Qt has advanced capabilities (e.g., charting, widgets, SQL interface, etc.)
# Increased (Slicer) application modularity
