IDEA 20090507 Web Graphics Editor

At LGM2009, I proposed to all that we should be moving our apps to the web/cloud now. The social benefits and overall user uptake on web applications is too great to ignore. But, how can we do the harder applications, and without proprietary standards.

Upon investigation, it appears that a rudimentary drawing tool is possible with the canvas element in html5. It needs more investigation, but would be a stellar html element, implemented in firefox since version 1.5, to create graphics, both bitmap and vector, although SVG is preferable for a vector based editor.
