Is it nasty "pushing" just to state what you think is going to be useful 
for the community, when the chance occurs ?

In fact, right now I do have a concept in my head that really might work 
(i.e. can sensibly be done without the need to completely re-do the 
internals of the WidgetType stuff in the LCL which obviously does not 
make sense) .

I immediately would start, if I would have the spare time and/or the 
need. I _can_ do some researching as a background task and collect the 
results for me or anybody else who might be  interested. When I started 
the research, I did have the need, as I was willing to do a large 
project that runs in a headless embedded Linux box. Unfortunately the 
company's focus changed towards a (lower featured) non-Linux 
implementation :-( .

I don't really agree. Even a long lasting mere research _is_ helpful. As 
well for me as for everybody else who might might be willing to 
implement something useful, because he either has the spare time or the 
need to use it.

In fact, during this low priority research, I only recently came across 
WebSockets. If I would have actually started to implement anything 
before, silly me would have ignored this possibility. Right now, I am 
positive that an implementation of something that might finally result 
in a Web GUI (similar to what "ExtPascal" was up to, nowadays based on - 
say - "CustomDrawn" and a JavaScript that implements a limited count of 
"basic" widgets in the Browser) should actually done based on

In fact I am watching CustomDrawn and - even some spare time available - 
I would not start to implement anything (that in fact should support 
both "embedded WEB GUI" as "CGI") before I am rather convinced that I 
can do this based on CustomDrawn.
