Melvin,

I took a quick look, and I see the usual predictable issues, in regards 
to a Read-Write oriented World Wide Web app:

1. No export
2. No "Save As" -- which combines export and content-type as part of 
final document storage.


A functional RWW aspect of the Web shouldn't have infrastructure 
dependencies such as "For the back-end part a MySQL database stores 
everything. With such common requirements (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP), 
Paperwork will be able to run not only on dedicated servers" .

It should be about a generic I/O layer for creating relations (how Data 
[entity relationships] is actually represented) capable of using an open 
protocol (e.g., HTTP) to persist data to different document types. 
Anything less, which sadly remains the case, is utterly broken esp. in 
the context of an open standards based Read-Writable World Wide Web.

It would be a little more interesting if folks on this list look to 
<http://paperwork.rocks/#app> as something worth passing through a data 
de-silo-fication process using standards such as LDP, SPARQL (Graph 
Store and/or Update), etc. protocols.

LAMP is just another data silo-fication push hidden behind misconception 
about "open source" which really has very little to do with actual "open 
data access and connectivity". Source code isn't the problem.

Open Data Access is the problem :)
