Re: Prototype Frescobaldi in the browser

[William]

Not passing judgement on this project either way, but there are lots of online 
text editor applications, such as markdown editors or google docs. Some people 
like to use them, others don’t. There are also other web applications which 
apply the real-time-updates feature of google docs in a visual engraving 
software. I guess there’s not really any reason to not have this as an option 
for someone who likes it. 

I’d like to say something else about this web application that OP should keep 
in mind, in case others haven’t brought this up yet. As all of us know, 
lilypond includes many features that are designed to be helpful for users who 
know what they are doing but could be quite dangerous if malicious code is 
parsed, such as the ability to read other files or run system commands. Are you 
planning to run lilypond inside a chroot jail and/or in safe mode? Because safe 
mode clamps down on a lot of the more extended functionality such as scheme 
extensions and even other things such as #(set-global-staff-size). 

I guess copying how lilybin et Al handle this will be fine.
