I looked at PDF. I want to include animations that will play on any platform (Linux/BSD/Mac/Win), with a wireless remote. I want hierarchical navigation, and open content creation from any application (including a C program) that can generate images. Just about any displayable image can be turned into a PNG, while PDF only has limited inputs and outputs. A BUI does everything I want, plus or minus some bugs. The PDF format is much more limited, and there are few programs that create or display it. There are a whole lot of other things that Just Work by using pre-rendered images. The browser already has 98% of the display ability I need, WYDIWYS only adds a few missing pieces to do a "next generation" presentation tool. It took less time to write the alpha version than I wasted fighting OOo Impress on my previous presentation. The crazy thing is how much I can do with it, given how little code I had to write. More than half of the code is related to hierarchical navigation that I can operate with a three button RF/USB clicker, I hope to present WYDIWYS at the July Advanced Topics.
