Should this work?

Two thoughts:
1) Are there any other Mac users out there who might want to use Xerte
natively on their machine? If so: perhaps we can share the costs for the
plugin. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to get some financial help from my
boss ...
2) I think it is not so easy to just create Xerte as a web application,
so we can just use it in a browser?
