A rethink of the terminal (and Unix philosophy) - http://acko.net/blog...
"I've been administering Unix machines for many years now, and frankly, it kinda sucks. It makes me wonder, when sitting in front of a crisp, 2.3 million pixel display (i.e. a laptop) why I'm telling those pixels to draw me a computer terminal from the 80s." - Christopher Galtenberg
"So instead, I opted for a front-end built in WebKit. Programs can display anything that a browser can, including HTML5 media. The output is built out of generic widgets (lists, tables, images, files, progress bars, etc.). The goal is to offer a rich enough set for the common data types of Unix, extensible with plug-ins. The back-end streams display output to the front-end, as a series of objects and commands." - Christopher Galtenberg
Worth visiting for the blog design alone. But this is a paradigm-shifting project, I believe. - Christopher Galtenberg
