Why not Mozillas XUL instead of GNUe Forms?

0

“Tonight Derek was reading over some of the documentation on GNUe. It occurred to me that Mozilla and XUL might make a great front end UI to this system. Instead of creating multiple GUI front ends for the different environments you wish to support, you could make one XUL front end that could run on every platform that Mozilla can run on (and there are a lot). Is there some reason you’ve chosen not to do this?” This has been talked about in infinite detail, but the summary is that browsers don’t make good front ends for Enterprise systems. They are a nice option, but most data-entry style applications are not “friendly” when used from a browswer.

What is your question?

*Sadly, we had to bring back ads too. Hopefully more targeted.
