* Various web frontend applications:
* An interactive tree browser web frontend.
* A blog-like app (perhaps addressing tiddly wishlist items)
* Port another light-weight server open source web app to Tahoe+javascript (calendar, photo album)
* Port another light-weight server open source web app to Tahoe+javascript (calendar, photo album, [Bespin](https://bespin.mozilla.com))
* Fix Same-Origin-Policy design issue. Web content from different authors can interact in unintended ways in the victims browser, such as Javascript iterating over open windows, or peeking at a referrer header.

* HTTP proxy approach
* Special scheme handling in browser add-ons
* CAJA approach: Require all Javascript to pass the CAJA verifier in the Tahoe web frontend, then create an interface to the tahoe webapi which matches the intended capability semantics.
* Retarget a webapp such as [Bespin](https://bespin.mozilla.com) to store itself on a Tahoe grid instead of on a custom (Bespin-specific) server.
