Shane,

Unless I've missed it, PEBL is still a desktop application that needs to
be installed on a computer to run (i.e., it's not software for creating
online studies).

I'm not a C programmer but I was reading about asm.js and Emscripten. My
understanding is that you compile a desktop application written in C/C++
code and support files to javascript that will execute at about half
speed in a browser.  I wondered if this could be a way to use PEBL
online?  I guess PEBL wouldn't be able to write data files but I believe
PEBL has in-built capabilities accept Internet connections so you would
just have to send all the data at the end of the experiment to a simple
CGI designed to receive and store the results.

Is this feasible?  I ask because PEBL being a desktop application is
limiting to me.  For example, when I was a faculty member, it was
difficult to get our technical support to install PEBL in the computer
labs. It would have been easier to run PEBL (and run the latest version)
to have it on my server that anyone could run in a browser.  And now
that I'm not a faculty member, virtually my only access to data sources
is online.

I've... seen things you people wouldn't believe...
functions on fire in a copy of Orion.
I watched C-Sharp glitter in the dark near a programmable gate.
All those moments will be lost in time, like Ruby... on... Rails... Time for Pi.
