Here's some new wishes/ideas I've thought of whilst coding heavily in laszlo:

1) Back end services which support front end apps - like
a) instant messaging
b) xml-rpc
c) authentication

these are "faceless" but could be represented in laszlo lzx code.

2) breakpoints in js, call stack, etc. in debugger.

3) Release an open source version of the lzx code (the whole framework) that runs on the laszlo server --- imagine the progress when lots of folks start working on various parts of the lzx code.

4) support music formats other than mp3 -- ogg vorbis, .mod, etc.

5) put the whole lzx part of the laszlo server up on the site as searchable-cross referencable code. (ties into #3)

6) Conduct a "make it in Laszlo" contest that challenges folks on the net to create stuff in Laszlo. Winner gets a LPS XE or EE.

Just had another minor brainstorm:

Imagine if there was a website service that was laszlo-based, but allowed folks to create full flash websites using a simplified "site" syntax (xml). This site syntax would act as a data set which would be translated into a special site format.


<site>
<navigation>
<link>
</navigation>
<header/>
etc...
</site>




Akin perhaps to Movable Type templates, only fully flash generated.
