I think keeping with industry standards and trends would be important.
ReactOS should have some form of XML standard. I also think ROS should
have OpenDOC implimented in the core text prosessing aplications. i.e.
winepad. wordpad clone and more.
XML is actively becoming part of technology and programming. Every
major development company has embraced some form of XML in one
product or another. I was wondering if ReactOS would be interested in
developing some form of application to handle XML-based applications.
These applications would be written in XML and bundled in a ZIP file
much like the ODF formats that OpenOffice 2.0 is using. XML
applications would be allowed to communicate with some processing
application protocols and functions. I think something like this
would be a great feature that would quickly allow novice programmers
to quickly develop applications for ReactOS and share them on the
website. Think of it, no compilation time. That would be great.
I will try to write a proof-of-concept application for Windows XP and
2000 for trial and testing.
My main question is: If something like this is wanted/needed/or if
ReactOS members finds interesting would ReactOS think about
supporting it in the first production release. Which is still far
off, I would imagine.
