<div dir="ltr">Hi Lionel,<div><br></div><div>Great to hear. Appreciate your feedback and pointers.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for sharing the information on WebODF project. Exciting indeed.</div><div><br></div><div>It would be great to have a word processor plus a spreadsheet fully written on the web if there is a clear need or interest for the same amongst the community members.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We can start small by demonstrating SocialCalc as a Cordova application in Sugar for XOs or Sugar on Web. The initial goal can be to demonstrate SocialCalc as an example for other developers to port their JS/HTML5/CSS applications on Sugar using the Cordova framework on Sugar. </div>
<div><br></div><div>At this juncture, participation in GSoC as a separate project might not be needed for this initiative. We can add it in the existing project proposals.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks again.</div><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>
