<div dir="ltr">Nice !<div><br></div><div>Didn't know it exist.</div><div>You've been one of the ancestor of the Sugar Web ! - after Wikipedia activity of course.</div><div><br></div><div>It could be interesting to join it with the idea to develop a Write-activity like using WebODF [1].</div>
<div>So we could add a word processor plus a spreadsheet fully written in web. Could be very cool.</div><div><br></div><div>BTW it need some works, could be add to the GSOC 2014 project list [2] but need a dedicated mentoring. Except if Manuel think that it's a part of the "JavaScript Collaboration for Sugar " project ?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Seems that we've got more GSOC subjects than mentors and tokens :-)</div><div><br></div><div> Lionel.</div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="http://webodf.org/">http://webodf.org/</a></div>

<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="gmail_quote"><div>Hi Puneet,</div><div><br></div><div>Wish to share the SocialCalc project details [1] with you and Lionel. </div><div><br></div>
<div>It would be wonderful to get SocialCalc as an activity using the framework developed by Lionel and Suraj. We used hulahop framework, which utilized PyXPCOM bindings. This is how SocialCalc <span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">moved data between the Python activity and the HTML5 spreadsheet. Two years ago, we changed how data is sent to the browser. We now use the URL bar, sending something like:</span> </div>
<div><br></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">WebView.setLocation( "javascript:initSpreadsheet( data );void(0);" )</span><br></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">When the user changes the spreadsheet in any way, the HTML5 spreadsheet sends it back to the activity using an AJAX POST request. Hulahop is still used to receive this data on the Python side. Is there a similar library in Webkit which would let the activity receive POST data?</span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br>
</span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">On the same note, we might also need some reference activity examples to help us in executing </span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">GTK3 + Webkit migration</span><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"> of SocialCalc.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Hope this helps.</span></div><div><br></div><div>Regards,<br></div><div><br></div>
