Description
As applications become more web centric it hurts to see the blueprint "Create a new framework for delivering web-based application" tagged with "Low" priority. That should be changed to "Essential" for Ubuntu 9.04.
TODO:
* Sort out how webapplications should be packaged, dependencies solved and how they should interact with RDBMS/LDAP etc.
* Updating mechanisms are critical as webapps are the weakest link in security. SQL-injections etc...
* Joomla has interesting features for version 1.6 with a "new plugins available" feature for webapps. Perhaps you could work out something standard together?

Prism is in the repository.
You can add that to run web applications from the desktop.
Also the upcoming Ubuntu 9.04 "Jaunty Jackalope" will have a focus on web applications.

Well, In first case I'm thinking about applications that run server side. Such as Joomla, Drupal, phpbb3 and their likes.
That kind of packages is a "security black hole" due to inconsistent packaging.
Prism doesn't address those issues.
