[Typo3-dev] Looking for (study-) project

[Daniel Brüßler]

Hi Ries, Markus, Masi,

really an interesting discussion :-)

I think (MHO) one main reason Kasper wrote typo3 in PHP is, that hosting 
can be very cheap and easy.

So a RichClient should work with PHP on server-side. Java on client-side 
is shit, because very long loading-time and problems because of 
microsoft-marketing-politics.

About 98% of the home-clients have the FLASH-plug.

Maybe you know MING, what renders PHP-code to the flash-format.

I think nobody would need a Flash-powered Backend - but some nice 
frontend-effects would be superfine. I think that would be a realistic 
start for Typo3.

Ming is a C library for generating SWF ("Flash") format movies. I found 
a wiki for Ming. http://www.opaque.net/wiki/index.php?Ming

=> So it would be interesting if somebody started a RichClient-project 
for PHP what is based on MING.
