> Please tell us about XUL. I'd love to hear about it. I have very little experience with XUL, but it seems like it would fit this bill. From the web page http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/The_Joy_of_XUL :
"XUL (pronounced "zool") is Mozilla's XML-based user interface language that lets you build feature rich cross-platform applications that can run connected to or disconnected from the Internet. These applications are easily customized with alternative text, graphics, and layout so they can be readily branded or localized for various markets. Web developers already familiar with Dynamic HTML (DHTML) will learn XUL quickly and can start building applications right away." Thunderbird and Sunbird are built on XUL (if you're not familiar with these applications, they are the email and calendar clients based on the mozilla engine). A number of other applications have been built using XUL. I think the biggest draw is that anyone interested can easily build their own extensions, just as in Mozilla, either a simple javascript link or a full blown application built on top of or in place of the existing app. I think this has the basis for solving a lot of the problems mentioned in this thread. Just my .02 worth. _______________________________________________ Ldsoss mailing list Ldsoss@lists.ldsoss.org http://lists.ldsoss.org/mailman/listinfo/ldsoss
