== What we need to bootstrap? ==
''
The language is the glue''
what developers want
* A web enabled language such as Ajax, Aflax eg. OpenLazlo, Javascript, Flare, XUL, Curl
* A free open source scripted language
* An interactive hardware optimised (awaiting reconfigerable CPU's) language
* An AI enhanced language built into a blog, wiki or browser
* Standards based on XML
* A search engine integrated language. The Flock Browser is the beginning of this approach 
* A highly collaborative and interactive language. Some integration of IM (Instant Messenger) standards is beginning 
* Real time programming
* Language and environment template 
* Flexibility, 
* Drag and drop
For the prototype we will be using primarily XUL as it fulfills more of these components than the other languages

* XUL Planet
* XUL Standalone

== What is Transformational Programming? ==
"Like many of these other efforts, Lynch and Garland’s approach starts with a concept called abstraction. The idea is to begin with a high-level summary of the goals of the program and then write a series of progressively more specific statements that describe both steps the program can take to reach its goals and how it should perform those steps. For example, a high-level abstraction for an aircraft collision avoidance system might specify that corrective action take place whenever two planes are flying too close. A lower-level design might have the aircraft exchange messages to determine which should ascend and which should descend."
== Where will we store data? ==
Data is increasingly stored in shared cyber space, with personalised access such as GoogleBase Will offline storage be seen as anachronistic? No it is a natural human tendency to operate individually and collectively and value both approaches.
The unique ability of humans is in the personal arrangement of data
