Hello, Neal Deakin comments on the W3C RICHIE Workshop in the blog story over at XUL Planet titled "Some Web Application thoughts".
Neal writes: Here are a number of thoughts on web applications, inspired from reading the recent discussions of the W3C Workshop on Web Applications. * The people who will be making the user interfaces for web applications in the future will be the same people who currently make the user interfaces for web sites today. * The people who make the user interfaces for web sites today are not very technical and frequently have non-technical backgrounds. The people who do have technical programmer-type knowledge are confined to writing server-side code. ... * No existing web designer currently nor ever will understand any technology that begins with the letter X. Thus, if the people who will be making web application UI (the web designers) don't understand these technologies, those technologies will have a hard time getting anywhere. ....
