See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Broadway, under development at the X Consortium in 1996, is a package of technologies designed to provide what is termed "universal access to interactive applications on the Web" -- the ability to locate and invoke remote applications via the Web and have their displays, including both graphics and audio, appear wherever you are (on your local desktop), either as new top-level windows or embedded within your Web browser. Building Broadway will involve creating a least three new extensions to X11 (one for embedding, one for fast performance over low-speed lines, and one for security enhancements), but will also involve developing new standards for remote activation, and will involve modifying Web browsers to support the Broadway activation and embedding protocols. The Broadway embedding protocols are designed to allow a Broadway-capable window manager and X server to cooperate and provide embedded display of unmodified X11 applications; Broadway does not imply an incompatible protocol. See http://www.x.org/consortium/broadway.html for more information. [3/96; thanks to matt@x.org (Matt Landau)] Note that "Broadway" is an internal name, only. It will be released as X11R7 or X11R6.2.
