This is a good proposal. No-one is doing enough to compete with Google in the web app arena. Where, for example, can I find an open-source e-mail client as good as gmail? As for comments like The really goofy thing is thinking that a browser is the best platform for application development. It isn't. That is developer thinking. If you think that, go ask your mum or someone who works in a restaurant what the best platform for applications is. They will not have an opinion (unless they are also a developer.) The only reason not to support the browser is performance, and as the article says, that is just getting better and better. As to whether it is Fedora's place to compete here - it totally, utterly is. As a provider of free software, no-one said they have to focus on one platform or even only on providing a platform. Again, no-one in the real world cares about platforms. Fedora or Gnome producing an Android competitor, that really is laughable and a bad idea. You did see how Google withdrew the Nexus after the total lack of interest and carrier mistrust? And some Nokia stuff runs Linux - how's that going for them I wonder? Phones are hard and require the kind of UX work and corporate hoop-jumping that open-source totally sucks at.
