What drew me to the project about 18 months ago was the idea of developing 
for desktop and browser at the same time.  My question is what is the 
intended near-term (3-6 months) support for desktop?  In particular, what 
is this "webkit gobject thing" that is being alluded to, but has not as yet 
materialized?  Also, how would it differ from what is being worked on in 
wxPython (running html/javascript/css through webkit/trident (mshtml) via 
WebView in the 2.9 development series of wxPython)?  A final question is 
where are people going to push pyjs -- a primary item would be to have 
efficient code running as native as possible on mobile devices and as 
direct python code on desktop/laptop machine.

I am open to working on things (pyjs and pyjd) when I have the time.  My 
present audience is primarily OS X and Linux users, and at the present, the 
community is fine with Gtk windows, etc.

As some may recall, I was able to get a first stab at pyjd on Mac OS X 
using the Gtk version of pywebkitgtk.  However, there is an issue with it 
seemingly ignoring the html file for hello world and other pyjd 
applications.  On the other hand, the functionality of the code (e.g. 
resizing the window, moving the window, and events) appears to work fine. 
 Unfortunately, I am not a webkit coder and after going through 10-20 
levels of redirection, and still not finding any errors, I don't know why 
the html file is ignored.  Any hints in this regard would be appreciated 
(unless, the idea is for pyjd on webkit to die).
