I'm wondering whether it might end up being simpler to create a
Python
(or whatever your chosen portable scripting language is) GUI
wrapper for
the SWORD utilities, that people run locally on their own machine,
rather than a web UI for a central server? Login authentication
already
exists on the user's machine, there is no need to move possibly
large
files back and forth, no worries about whose files they are,
multiple
users at once are handled by the users OS (on multi-user OSes
only, of
course), etc.
I guess we love python too much.... Cross-platform with correct
widgets toolkit it will look native on all platforms.
There is no widget toolkit that really has a native look&feel on
Mac except
Cocoa.
Well, there is RubyCocoa or PythonCocoa bridge but using that means
it is
not cross-platform anymore.
You could perhaps make the framework in Python and then plug-in
PythonCocoa so someone else could plugin a PythonGTK or PythonQt
interface overtop?
That's an option, indeed.
I'm beginning to like it. But still, extry work would be needed by
others to create UIs on top.
I think it would be a good compromise for all OSes.
