[Mozile] some ideas for free Mozile promotion (the bigger picture?)

[Christian Huldt]

I've been away from mozile for quite a while now, but will hopefully  
get back during summer.

As I lately been doing some AJAX, I will then be investigating the  
possibilities of using of mozile for xhtml fragments (to be saved and  
updated using AJAX techniques) in a multi-user system. Apart from  
core mozile abilities I will need to be able to use  javascript to  
turn the  editable property of individual elements on, as well as  
getting and setting the content of the editable container.

As I said, hopefully this summer, as of now I do not have a clue,  
other than perhaps that for certain applications structure is not  
necessary to have within the editor...
