[maemo-developers] Making Javascript Application embedded in a small gtk window.

[From: Benoît HERVIER]

Hello everybody,

For different reasons, i'm thinking of doing apps using Javascript and
HTML. Why ? :

- Portability
- More possibility in term of design (depends of operating system)

But i have many questions for you as i ve ever write something in javascript :

- How to store and retrieve data ? I know that there is some
possibility with some part of the specifications of HTML5. I read
somewhere that webkit support it.
- Does the maemo actual webkit port support this feature ?
- Does there is python binding for webkit ?
- I suppose that with javascript we can't access nor the filesystem,
nor the camera, isn't it ?

And the main one is about performance on an n8x0 device, do you think
it s could be really use to make application, as when i see how many
time required to launch browser, or simply importing gtk python
binding, i really doubt that my idea is a great one.

What do you think ?
