Hello,
Back in August (according to a quick search of the archives) there was
some discussion of porting Java (& Perl & Python, etc.) to lynx, but
as far as I can tell, nothing ever came of it. I'd like to do this as
part of my MS in CS, and would like some input so that I can get a
proposal together.
1) Is there anyone currently working on this?
2) Does anyone have any *specific* examples of Java applets (or Perl...)
that they find useful and that would be even more useful in lynx?
3) The discussion in August mentioned two approaches: If the user was
on an xterm, then a Java (or whatever) viewer could pop up and the applet
be displayed & interacted with. Contrariwise, the applet could be reduced
to what could be represented in curses/slang and forget about most
of the graphics. (Does anyone know of a useful applet that isn't graphic-
dependent?)
The former would be easier, the latter more useful (or, at least, what
utility it would have would be more widepread. Both would be ideal.
Opinions?
