I don't think a web-based UI would be appreciated by most Fedora
spins. Among other things, web technologies are considerably less
accessible, can be difficult to navigate, and add more resource
requirements to the system to actually run. The only significant
benefit of a web based GUI is that you could do the installations
remotely a lot more easily since you only need a web server and a
browser elsewhere, not a VNC server and a client.
Hmmm. I think all of our desktop environment spins are generally used to run
web browsers at some point, right? Those probably have enough power to run
GNOME Web or Konqueror on the live image. And for systems where that's a
stretch, it seems like this opens up a lot of possibilities.
And, I assume the idea would be to use something like PatternFly, which at
least has significant work put into accessibility — and I think the same
thing applies here, where if someone has a working setup on another computer
(or phone, even) they could use that to get started with Fedora.
It's not like the plan is to do it in Flash. :)
