Re: Announcement: Homage to SWI-Prolog

Hi Torbjörn,

Great!  This all starts to work together.  Carlo's replacement of
the console can include WebKit, so we can use web technology in
the console.  I've been working on the web infrastructure and the
sandboxing stuff with a long term view of both a `data lab' for
RDF, general web-based access and remote debugging.

Luckily, we all seem to be doing complementary things.  I've spent
some days trying to get a rich web-enabled editor based on
CodeMirror.  Although the code is a bit messy as a result of a
lot of backtracking, it can now do basic highlighting and smart
indentation itself and can use server enriched tokens to get
pretty close to PceEmacs highlighting with some pros and cons.
Remaining work is code cleanup and getting tooltips and
completion to work.

I'd assume these two can be merged?

Then get Ulrich's gupu in there and we would have something
really fancy for education.  Finally SWI-Prolog might get
targeted at education :-)

	Cheers --- Jan
