HUGE thanks! BTW, I've been experimenting with web-based software running on a desktop with XUL/WebKit-based clients that run their own in-process HTTP server (I've used CherryPy) and I like this approach: HTML-based UIs are way easier to create than typical UI widgets.


I'm using CherryPy, and I'd be very interested in hearing more about this. Feel free to send me an email.

I think the biggest hurdle in a Luminotes desktop port such as this would be replacing PostgreSQL with something like sqlite.

Another option would be to throw out the existing server entirely for the desktop version and use something like Google Gears.
