[jsword-devel] Introduction

[Yiguang Hu]

Thanks Mete. I tried to play the openlaszlo IDE,
unfortunately it depends on some IBM packages I don't
have. I also checked out DWR, which is relatively
lightweight and there are lots of good tutorial and
demos. I was quite impressed by the chat demo that
shows how easy it is to work with DWR.
