I agree, and ideally I think the presentation (or "slide management") part
of the application (create slides, move/organize slides in a presentation,
etc.) should be isolated from any slide implementation (and even slide
interface) so that we can manage virtually any type of slide, amongst
which

* Javascript (typically Slidy or S5) slides
* Wiki content slides
* Images slides
* Flash slides
* etc.

This will be the very "XWiki" part of the application which will require
the definition of a slide XWiki class, and implementing presentations as
collections of wiki documents that contains slide objects (+ one of the
many possible implementation of a slide).

WDYT ?

Jérôme.
