    I was thinking about this, too, when I read his name. Whereas Europeans generally pronounce his name the right way ('Nick-louse Veert'), Americans invariably mangle it into 'Nickel…

    Would you be willing to say a bit more about which country and how you got there? (My E-Mail is in my profile.) I'm currently in Switzerland, but I plan to live in Mediterranean co…

    This is a cool project. :-) It also doesn't work in Opera, because the emscripten compiled CPython doesn't work with this browser. No problems in latest stable Firefox.

    Did you extend Pandoc or Gitit? I would be very interested in extending/changing Pandoc slightly, but so far I got along with doing my changes with sed and writing some inline LaTe…

    "intellectual property" That's a really muddy term. How exactly can you protect a protocol? Trade secret? Patents? Copyright shouldn't apply if it's a reimplementation. Edit: s/sin…

    When I read through the text, it didn't once think "this can't work". It seems plausible and if implemented, this could indeed be a big step forward. I hope this, or a similar effo…

    You can read the announcement here: https://mozillalabs.com/blog/2011/02/prism-is-now-chromeless... Basically: Both can solve the same problem, but Chromeless is more powerful.
