Wouldn't it make more sense to replace gnome/kde with gecko? Isn't that essentially what the win8 demo was all about? So many questions, so little cloud...

  The wiki page doesn't do a good job explaining it, but what they're aiming at is mobile devices. Essentially they want a phone that replaces every native functionality with html/javascript. So a web application would be your phone dialer, a web application could access your NFC chip. All of the capabilities they're going for is stuff that's in the pipeline in W3C, they want to create an OS to accelerate the process (and create new standards as well).

    You mean like webOS?
    • MatthewPhillips 15y ago
      No, I meant like web applications.

    Essentially they want a phone that replaces every native functionality with html/javascript. I would love to hear more about the security model.

      Browser asks the user for permission to do stuff, the really sensitive stuff is pushed back to happening on click events, the even more sensitive stuff runs through code validation. What extra security is needed than what we already have with the above?

      The security model is one of the hard parts that needs working out, yes. This is just an announcement that there is a plan to work one out in case people want to participate instead of just having stuff dumped on them from on high when it's done the way Google and Apple do it.

    The project is DOA unless they also go and buy spectrum. Because no one is going to allow this phone on their network. They need to buy some 4G spectrum and then this becomes interesting. Until then its just a failed project.
