Showcasing XWT

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will center around
creating a set of showcase applications to demonstrate the power of the
XWT/Ibex platform.

I've identified, using a failsafe systematic... system, several areas
where HTML is an obvious let-down as an interface and local applications
can be awkward about achieving their goal:

 o  RCS browser

    WebCVS is hideous.  I don't think I've ever successfully used it.
    And I mean 'used', not 'setup'.

    This would be a perfect example of where XWT is ideal.  You can
    browse a repository without ever having to download it, and you
    can browse it quickly!

    What's more, it can be RCS agnostic with a bit of clever design.
    Point and click source repo management.  Now that's a utopia.

 o  Mail reader

    No more messing around setting up and waiting for IMAP.  No more
    evil POP.  No more clunky HTML deface... interface.  Yes, the
    return of the XWT Mail app.

 o  Think of something else!

    I know there's ideas lurking out there, from XWT application
    editors to RTF text editors.  But I'd argue they're not the
    'laugh in the face of your limitations' applications that we can
    point to and say, "lo and behold the POWER!"
