jan iversen commented on COR-10:
--------------------------------

I think we are mixing two issues here.

I agree with peter, that if the editor is hosted on a web server it must be 
useable by all modern browsers.

But that is not the case I was describing. I was describing the offline model 
(like UXwrite), here I would not like to start a web server in the background 
(I am not really sure we could do that easily on e.g. IOS). For the offline 
model, I would like to have 1 program (exe or similar) that I install and start.

The offline model can be made pretty simple by using the libraries available 
for firefox, IE and safari (do not know if they are in different flavors MacOS 
and IOS). My question was merely can we (only for the offline model) cut 
corners and only do it with the firefox libraries. Firefox libraries can live 
in parallel with other browsers so that is not a problem. Firefox libraries are 
opensource so it is also not a problem to deliver them (if needed) as part of a 
convenience binary.

For the web server version, we would not use any of the browser libraries, but 
embed docFormats in e.g. python which works well with javascript.
