[pmwiki-users] future of PMWikiDraw with a XUL UI

[Stephan Schildberg]

Hello WikiDrawing enthusiasts,

on my search on freshmeat I found only one project maching Java as well 
as SVG.
http://glipssvgeditor.sourceforge.net/

Sketsa seams to be the more elavated version, is still free, but not 
open source. Both projects are based on Batik 
http://xml.apache.org/batik/ , regarding SVG and Java.

I personally don't stick to any programming languange and ideally I 
would hit this road.
Beeing ignorant I would choose XUL as underlying UI-framework and would 
leave any non Mozilla-based browser out.
If I would have done this, then I would create SVG via different 
scripting-environments.

Even with javascript you can generate SVG, still not .PNGs which is a drag.

This mirrors MY personal interests and I agree that Ciaran should 
reflect his preferences as I do this with mine.

In the end I would be happy with a solution, which at least does SVG, 
then its reuseable and open for changes between anything, even different 
wiki machines.

Stephan.
