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.
