How about something in Croquet, <a href="http://www.opencroquet.org/index.php/Main_Page">http://www.opencroquet.org/index.php/Main_Page</a>, or Seaside, <a href="http://www.seaside.st/">http://www.seaside.st/</a>, that would create a Sugar environment for the web, say Honeycomb? I, too, need to spend more time under those hoods or in those hoods. --Fred <div class="gmail_quote">2009/3/18 Jameson Quinn <<a href="mailto:jameson.quinn@gmail.com">jameson.quinn@gmail.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I think that for a GSoC project, we care less about development kits/IDEs like aptana, than about desktop-apps-with-AJAX solutions like Appcelerator Titanium, Mozilla Prism (and in closed-source world, Adobe AIR and Curl). I think it would be a great project to take Titanium or Prism and make a generic sugar-like hello-world which used Javascript to save to the journal, set some tags, open a file, coexist with Rainbow, and have a sugary toolbar. Whether you worked on that activity with Aptana or whatever is a separate issue. Disclaimer: I know nothing under the hood about any of the products mentioned here, so I could be totally wrong.

The great thing about aptana is that there is for-profit company behind it that seems to do a good job of sponsoring open-source development. Also, Apple, Palm, and maybe Android are pushing for js+html5 for all apps place of flash. <div><div></div><div> On Wed, 2009-03-18 at 10:47 +0100, Tomeu Vizoso wrote: > 2009/3/18 Bryan Berry <<a href="mailto:bryan.berry@gmail.com" target="_blank">bryan.berry@gmail.com</a>>: > > Felipe, > > > > "never bet against the browser" is absolutely true > > > > However, gnash is roughly 2-3 developer years behind macromedia flash. > > the big hurdle is adding support for ActionScript3 to Gnash. > > > > I don't think that better integrating Gnash into Sugar would be the best > > use of your time.
