That is awesome! Many times I have lousy ideas but usually time catches up with this. But the NaCl connector keeps intriguing me, so it would be fantastic to have it. What I have done in that area is only this: I have been able to build Wt using the NaCl toolchain, but thus without a connector. That went out-of-the box. But I've not done any actual work on the connector. You will find that the connector interface is quite simple -- you need to implement three things: - an implementation of WebRequest (see for example http/HTTPRequest.C) - some methods of WServer (see for example http/WServer.C) Obviously, there will not be actual requests, and I was also thinking that perhaps it is easiest to start with supporting Wt's widgetset mode because that aligns with the other nacl examples where a particular object in an HTML page is implemented using nacl (or may be not). Instead of having a <script> tag to bootstrap the wt application, you would then use a foreign nacl object ? The idea should then be that the initial JavaScript file and subsequent 'Ajax' calls are communicated over the JavaScript-Nacl communication channel, but appear to the Wt library itself as JavaScript resp. Ajax requests. The only modification that is then obviously needed is in Wt to not generate these Ajax calls (in Wt.js) but do something else. I don't believe it is a totally easy work, but, on the other hand, it seems like a lot of fun and you do not need to know too much of Wt internals.
