I retract the "mini-REPL" idea. However, the first thing I did in the mini-REPL was to paste a sample from the API docs in and run it. Which reminded me about my thought about making the API doc an app, where every sample has a "run" button next to it, and an output area where the output is written to. Compared to a green field effort like Libby's, having such an app would ensure that our doc samples actually work. Kinda dog-fooding the doc ... This wouldn't be the "initial app" we ship; too complex. Which is probably true for Libby's app as well. The initial app prolly shouldn't do much, but I like Jesse's idea of writing the cordova version into the DOM at a minimum. -- Patrick Mueller http://muellerware.org
