Subject: Re: [Seaside] Seaside as backend for desktop apps<BR>
<BR>
I do this for an internal app. I take a Seaside one-click experience<BR>
package, replace the image, and have my users download the ZIP and<BR>
extract to a directory. I include some instructions on the download<BR>
page and a shortcut icon to the localhost url.<BR>
<BR>
We're on windows, but I have some users that run Mac at home and they<BR>
love that the distro works there as well. (They have to type in a<BR>
URL).<BR>
