[ros-dev] Feature Request

[Rick Langschultz]

XML is actively becoming part of technology and programming. Every  
major development company has embraced some form of XML in one  
product or another. I was wondering if ReactOS would be interested in  
developing some form of application to handle XML-based applications.

These applications would be written in XML and bundled in a ZIP file  
much like the ODF formats that OpenOffice 2.0 is using. XML  
applications would be allowed to communicate with some processing  
application protocols and functions. I think something like this  
would be a great feature that would quickly allow novice programmers  
to quickly develop applications for ReactOS and share them on the  
website. Think of it, no compilation time. That would be great.

I will try to write a proof-of-concept application for Windows XP and  
2000 for trial and testing.

My main question is: If something like this is wanted/needed/or if  
ReactOS members finds interesting would ReactOS think about  
supporting it in the first production release. Which is still far  
off, I would imagine.
