live full framework on appengine

[Rodrigo Romero III]

with everything moving on to webapps and online storage, and being
google the main company pushing this, i was wwondering why is there
everything on the web to be used but too little to build? Of course,
we already have Aviary for Graphics and Sounds, Wolfram Alfa for
information Analysis and many many google applications online to make
our life easier like docs, gmail, calendar, tasks, notepad, maps,
latitude, finance...the new dashboard and i can continue for a while.
But, to mention a couple of missing webapps; there are no video
editing webapps as of yet, or a good one to mention wich would be
something nice to add to youtube. Second, let's face it, google sites
needs a good WYSIWYG/HTML editor and the ability to use CSS and
Javascript. But the most important and the main purpose of this
discussion is that we don't have a framework online to work on making
webapps. So, the proposal...upgrade appengine to a live framework for
java, Python and also to a python-to-javascript compiler to use
javascript outside appengine.

To be able to continue development while at the bus or car (not
driving) with my Storm2 phone, maybe iPhones or an Android based phone
or with a netbook while going into the web and opening a webapp would
be just what we need to go around the corner. Chrome OS is going to
be an all into web OS and for people spending most of the time in the
web...you just cant let the web developers outside this group; but
without tools...it's the same as nothing.

So here's the thing: you log in to your appengine accounts and of
course leave the current options there for uploading and managing your
apps, but also, to be able to launch a webbapp-type-framework that
let's you write, compile, test, unit test, track changes and versions
(as with docs), track bugs, and roadmaps, and then set live the code
right from in there? I'm talking about a full AppEngine SDK + GWT live
framework. GWT is not available for python yet but it would be nice
to have it there too so you can have more options with that app you
created.

wouldn't you just love that?
