Close, but I don't think close enough.

After working with Adobe/Actionscript/Flex/AIR for a while,
I appreciate what Steve Jobs said recently when he was
asked why Apple doesn't want to work closely with them.
He said they were lazy. I think he meant that they have
had an unchallenged franchise (with PDF and Flash)
for so long that everything is just "good enough" and
will be really ready in the next version.

What I'd recommend you consider is building on the
WordPress blog engine. Almost every variation of user
input technique gets implemented early and often
because text input is such a core requirement. You
get built-in user validation, text-versioning, etc and
the free support community is huge.

ok, so i'm coding a proofing system.

and wow, i'm impressed with myself
and how far i've gotten in just 2 days.
i've got a solid engine going already...

in programming, the saying goes that
the first 90% of a project takes 90% of
the time, and the remaining 10% takes
the other 90% of the time.  and it's true.

but still, to have a solid engine after
just 2 days means i think i can have
a pretty smooth system in 2 weeks...

but before i go reinvent the wheel...

a question for dkretz on "twisted"...

it was coded in "air", so in _theory_
anyway, it will run on a web-server.

so, don, can you make it do that?

is there any place where it _is_
running on a web-server now?

if someone (like me) wanted to
run it on their server, would you
make the app available to them?

i'd love to see it run in a browser.
