HippoEdit in the "Cloud"

[Arthur]

This is rather hypothetical and perhaps unrealistic, but:

because most applications eventually will move to the virtual computing space aka "Cloud", thus we will run them withing a browser/web OS of some sort, hence, ultimately, any OS [linux/Win] as we know it today will not be around or relevant.

Why not to make this push early and be the early adopters by creating a version of HE that runs in the cloud?
(Can be MS RedDog http://blogs.zdnet.com/microsoft/?p=1324 or Google App Engine)

That will make the "buzz"!

PS: The benefits I can see is the ability to access my docs from anywhere and have them backed up.

Hello Arthur,

for me term cloud is strongly associated with distributed calculations. The idea which you probably has in mind more likely connected to another buzz term Web 2.0 (or maybe 3.0 already ).
To have your docs shared, you can already use one of existing services as Libe Folders from MS or GDrive, that uses your google account for this..

To make online version of Hippoedit I do not have a resources yet. And java script processig is still slow for efficent text parsing and thread processing yet. Also with new JS VMs.

For me is more important to keep HE community, that people can share their scripts or schemas. And this (partially) I would try to add in 1.50 as Online Finctionality.

Best regards,
Alex.
