Dear All, let's step back and think what the broadway-like stuff really is. This is not HTML5 app but client (viewer) for server process that is still native GTK/Qt app that may be. HTML5 app is the one that you can use without extra runtimes also, say, on Android and iOS. This is what Zemlin The native app does not benefit in any way from browser security, just like switching from x11 graphicsystem to -raster changes nothing is this regard. I would also say more layers is a pain with not benefit. There is no Calligra for HTML5 and I think we do not even think about it. WebODF is a viewer. My proposal for announcing support (that costs us close to nothing) for Tizen comes because I believe there will be no mature free software rich office HTML5 app anytime soon for WebOS^w Tizen. Anything you do in such development is constrained by WAC unless you agree to break compatibility and inject binary lib - then you'd have to deploy it to other systems too (but the why to skip native Qt programs?) As for Android support, let's go for it (annoncement is needed to get dedicated people on board). In the meantime we'll also have to decide for at least one more announcement - what kind of support we offer for the forthcoming Meltemi OS. -- regards / pozdrawiam, Jaroslaw Staniek http://www.linkedin.com/in/jstaniek Kexi & Calligra (kexi-project.org, identi.ca/kexi, calligra-suite.org) KDE Software Development Platform on MS Windows (windows.kde.org) _______________________________________________ calligra-devel mailing list calligra-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/calligra-devel
