That sounds good, I thought it´s much more work. In fact I was just
thinking "webapp" and getting nightmares with many angry apaches in it
;) I´ll give it a try on the weekend.

Thanks for the info about OAuth. I´ll read about it as soon as I can.
One thing about the API: Wouldn´t it be nice to include the cursor
position into the JSON? It´s not super important, but personally I like
to see where I stopped editing. It would be nice to have that even when
switching computers/devices.

Great, that´s soon enough :) I hope I´ll have something working in about
two weeks. The JSON stuff is mostly implemented but the REST part,
authentication and the UI still needs to be done...
