(Combining quotes of Petr's explanations above for ease of forwarding.) This is a big deal and I'm glad it's happening. Huggle has at least thousands of users, I'm guessing (Petr, perhaps you have a better number?) but until now it's only worked on Windows. As a web app, it'll enable vandalism patrollers on Linux, Macintosh, and tablets as well. So, this is great news! Petr, there are folks at the Foundation who are interested in helping out with the UI and with helping you make sure that the web-based version works well on mobile. So I'm cc'ing them.
