Thoughts on Kevin's announcement

[Thomas McGrath III]

René,

You could of course start developing with RunRev for revServer and then you would get to target all mobile and web devices, as well as Linux.

A revServer option would allow for both native and browser based applications. Which, before this past year, was were all of the talk was centered around. Web Apps are still very relevant and will work in a native browser wrapper on most mobile phones directly.

What we need is a community wide collection of revServer 'objects' 'scripts' for each of the desired targets and target features.
