As Ville says, this is a perennial topic. And for good reason. This is one of those "big questions" that it would be useful to discuss at length at the Leo sprint. Another topic is best workflow practices. Kent and I are interested in looking over Terry's shoulder for awhile :-) I would also like to discuss data base ideas. > Leo in the browser - here, it's well worth looking at the excellent Checkvist cloud-based outliner at www.checkvist.com. It's got some great cloud ideas Leo could borrow. I agree. It's impressive. > It's just a matter of whether Python in-browser frameworks like Pyjamas are up to the job, versus how hard it would be to implement Leo in <brain-haemorrhage>Javascript</brain-haemorrhage> CoffeeScript, http://coffeescript.org/, is the proper way to program in JavaScript. It should not cause any brains to explode. Importantly, there are tools that will convert JavaScript to CoffeeScript. I would want to do this conversion before studying existing code. Having said this, programming directly in CoffeeScript looks like an "heroic" approach. Checkvist proves that such an approach is possible. Perhaps someone could convert Checkvist to CoffeeScript automatically, and then relatively easily move on to Leo. But unless somebody in the Leo community actually has a *lot* of time on their hands, basing a project on CoffeeScript isn't likely to make much headway. This leaves us with the question of in-browser frameworks. I haven't paid any attention to this important topic. I imagine that there has been continuous incremental (or revolutionary) progress since last we looked around. I would like to explore the possibilities at the Leo sprint. These are just my thoughts. Feel free to suggest new ideas here, or to bring up new topics at the sprint. There won't be any formal agenda.
