* Why not use existing solutions like Mozilla Prism or Titanium?

# Prism. It's just a stripped-down firefox. To make it useful, at least Gears would have to be installed and there would still remain the issue of integration. Porting Prism to Sugar would be wasteful, since Sugar already has hulahop. Building on that should be easier.

Porting Prism to Sugar would be wasteful, since Sugar already has hulahop which is as stripped down a firefox as it gets. Building on that should be easier.
# Titanium. Titanium is more interesting, as it already is an SDK for creating desktop applications with web technologies. It's only real disadvantage is introducing a new dependency (webkit) in Sugar. It may also be hard to integrate it into Sugar.

It's only real technical disadvantage is introducing a new dependency (webkit) in Sugar. However, it's designed is largely incompatible with Sugar, as it focuses on traditional desktops.
* What is the timeline for development of your project? The Summer of Code work period is 7 weeks long, May 23 - August 10; tell us what you will be working on each week. (As the summer goes on, you and your mentor will adjust your schedule, but it's good to have a plan at the beginning so you have an idea of where you're headed.) Note that you should probably plan to have something "working and 90% done" by the midterm evaluation (July 6-13); the last steps always take longer than you think, and we will consider cancelling projects which are not mostly working by then.
