xpi extension no longer supported

[raphiki]

Starting from Firefox 57, only Webextensions are supported making XulEditor obsolete.
It seems that Mozilla XUL/XPCOM technology base was not the durable choice...
Options that I identify now are:

• port XulEditor on WebExtension: seems not feasible since UX and API are very limited
• re-implement XulEditor on another JS plateform like Electron
• re-implement XulEditor as a Web application
• other ideas?

Is that your New Year's resolutions ? :)

I would suggest to re-implement XulEditor as a Web application so that all the QSOS tools can be web apps:

• framindmap, powered by wisemapping, compatible with the Freemind format (not tested)
• QSOS Editor re-implemented as a Web app
• QSOS Repositories and Backend, a Git-based Web app
• O3S (Open Source Selection Software), a web app

Once you have a working web app, you can convert it to a desktop app with Electron

However, none of the QSOS URL seems to be working:

• O3S Master instance: http://master.o3s.qsos.org
• O3S Incoming instance (sandbox): http://incoming.o3s.qsos.org
• QSOS Backend: http://backend.qsos.org
• Downloads: http://backend.qsos.org/download/

Yes I am considering Webapps as an options.
And yes I know my personal box went down with no backup from the hoster... I have to rebuild everything and maybe find new hoster. I'll try where I work today but if you have any suggestions?
