mfinkle: I think (#1 - #3.1) is the minimum ''basic'' feature set. However, I think a ''basic'' feature set is not rich enough. People are expecting (and asking for) a feature set closer to Adobe AIR which is (#1 - #5.6). Keep in mind that #4 is a freebie since its builtin into XULRunner and #5 is a minimalist API exposed to a greasmonkey-like, sandboxed JS script. We don't need to create all the uses, just the API to enable them. Personally, I'd like to see WebRunner with a feature set somewhere like (#1 - #5.3), although the file handling features (#5.4 & #5.5) would be killer features. | mfinkle: I think (#1 - #3.1) is the minimum ''basic'' feature set.

[[User:20after4|20after4]]: I would be willing to help implement File handling! I have been writing an XUL App that manages photo galleries. I already have working code to handle dropped images on both the application window and on OS X it handles files dropped on the application's dock icon. I will go to work integrating that into an extension for webrunner. I think that webrunner has enough flexibility that I can now stop writing custom XUL Applications and instead concentrate on .webapp packages and extensions for webrunner. | |||
