Our aim is to create the first ever, online Desktop Publishing (DTP) and design Web Application (WebApp): iStudioDesign.com. iStudioDesign.com will enable users to create, edit and store complex layout documents such as magazines and technical manuals whilst in their web browser. This is often known as working ~~or software as a service (SaaS, as users can work from any computer with an internet connection and a web browser. . :·])Users of iStudioDesign.com will be able to ,, collaborate with other users in real time and work on the same document at the same time. For example, when students are working on the same assignments, Student 1 enters something into the assignment and Student 2 will see the changes in real time and be able to respond to them immediately. This cuts down the need for users to~ compare and consolidate their individual files a both users can edit a single document at the same time. To enable complex designs, drawings and layouts to be created within a web browser we will be pushing the boundaries of Javascript and embedding the powerful c:four layout engine to ()provide the end user with complex layout algorithms and rendering in a timely manner. RaiiStaff is in the unique position of having a state of the art codebase (the c:four engine) at a time when internet technologies are developing up to a level at which a DTP WebApp is possible. From our internal desktop market research we have not found or identified any other web application capable of desktop publishing and page layout.
