Can you explain this a bit more? Will the user have a squeak image?
And, then would they download a "book" via something akin to Squeakmap?
(where the Book Repository (the Squeakmap) is a repo of books the user
can browse and "install" a selected book into the image?)<br>
How do you see this architecture? Does the user interact with the book
locally?<br>

As pointed out you could do this in a browser plugin, but that's a more
complicated solution since that environment is complex (plugin, vm,
security etc) and sometimes broken like on the macintel environment at
the moment.

I'll point to some older movies we made, and at the moment we're quite
busy gearing up for an alpha release.

Lastly, we noticed that via quicktime integration we can enter a URI
for the quicktime readable media, local or remote and
<br>
get streaming video/audio which makes it feasible to playback
movies/audio from the server in a usable manner, quicktime and
<br>
a fast internet connection makes this quite transparent.

So... what would it take to simply take squeak and present it in such a
<br>
way as to be familiar to the average web browser user. Take a look a
<br>
Tweak, Large fonts and we are almost there, some form of text layout
<br>
engine, have text with inlined images and widgets. We are so close to
<br>
having something useable but we never quite make it.
<br>
<br>
thoughts anyone?
