3.4. Future work

This prototype gives an idea of how a web based GF grammar editor could work. While this editor is implemented in JavaScript and runs in the web browser, we do not expect to create a full implementation of GF that runs in the web browser, but let the editor communicate with a server running GF.

By developing a GF server with an appropriate API, it should be possible to extend the editor to support a larger fragment of GF, to do proper error checking and make more of the existing GF shell functionality accessible directly from the editor.

The current grammar cloud service is very primitive. In particular, it is not suitable for multiple users developing a grammar in collaboration.
