Andre,
I'd love to pitch in with some ideas on this if we can get a core
group going. I've spent most of the last 2 years developing AJAX apps
with PHP, which is the main reason I've been unusually quiet on this
list, but I would love to see something pulled together like this. I
do think there is a great possibility to create a "web deploy" subset
of Revolution. People are doing more and more interesting things with
Javascript these days (including but not limited to AJAX). I'd
actually say that a lot of RunRev functions could be ported to
Javascript to create a nice compatibility layer.
It seems to me that the magic bullet is going to be the architecture.
My thoughts for project pieces, off the top of my head would be:
1) A standard object-to-HTML/CSS interface for display and layout.
Map Rev properties to CSS properties, figure out the best way to
export each type of object, etc. Deal with the positioning issues
(does everything have an absolute position like in a Rev stack, or?).
Figure out the logical mappings like Group => DIV
2) Navigation model - how do cards and stacks relate to pages and
frames, and vice versa in a clear and consistent manner?
3) A core Javascript library, call it "Revolution.js" which exposes
as many core, client-side Revolution functions as possible
4) A remote function call protocol
5) "Web mode" development environment - a plugin for Rev IDE, a
separate product?
6) All of the nice-to-haves (visual effects, server-side libraries
for database access, dialogs, partial page updates, etc, etc)
7) A couple of solid applications of the tool to use as case studies
and testbeds
I could see myself pitching in on any of these really if we got
something rolling. #3 is where I could probably do the most damage.
If you (or anyone) wants to be ringleader, let me know and I'll pitch
in as much as I can.

Mark,
you know half of this article was written after talking to you... :-)
this piece is just a continuation of our talkings during revcon
malta, I want to get something done, even if only to sprout more
conversation here.
waiting for your thoughts.
Cheers

Thanks. Much appreciated.
