It must have worked, they didn’t heckle me out of the room. Seneca’s Dave Humphrey and Chris Tyler have a great group of students working on Mozilla (and other Open Source) projects. I have been impressed with the types of projects the Seneca students completed in the past. This group of students and projects are just as impressive. I got a chance to talk to a few students after the presentation and hope to continue working with the group via IRC or anytime I happen to be at Seneca (like next week).

Webrunner is outstanding. I'm in a small business and would love to use it for accessing our Google Apps, as a desktop application replacement (Outlook). Unfortunately, I don't do much coding. Are there some sample files, especially the webapp.js that have the sidebar enabled? All I'm looking for is a Google Apps (Start Page, Gmail, GCal, Documents) webapp file that shows a sidebar with links for navigating between those pages. The links look like this - https://mail.google.com/a/(custom domain). I can replace html links in a .js file, but setting one up is out of my league. However, if you want to talk about a webapp replacement for Outlook, using webrunner and linking Google Apps for Your Domain would get anyone interested. Add the fact that I can use a custom icon (our business logo) and I'm slobbering a little. That would be a great thing to display at the FSOSS. At the minimum, can you point me in the direction of a .js file with working sidebar links for navigation? What you guys are doing is right what I'm looking at. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

So far, I like the speed! However, I have one issue. When running the GMail webapp, when I place the cursor in the "message" text box to actually write an e-mail, everything performs correctly except that I can't actually see the cursor. As you can imagine, this makes things a little difficult in terms of navigating around the message, editing it etc. Would appreciate any comments and/or solutions to this issue. (Note: I did look for some other support resource on which to raise this issue, but couldn't find one. If there is one, feel free to point me there!) Thanks in advance, Rob Grayson Normandy, France Hi Mark,

I have been trying to use WebRunner instead of Firefox for the regular Web Applications I use. However, I am finding that WebRunner takes a lot longer to start and the rendering is a bit off. I am running WebRunner 0.7 on Ubuntu 7.04 and suspect that I have not configured WebRunner right. Is there any forums or other resources for WebRunner on Linux? A bit off topic, but…
