Comet Desktop. An Extjs web desktop

Comet Desktop is an open source web desktop

Comet Desktop's goal is to be a web desktop that everyone can use, and an application framework that will allow developers to build anything they can dream of.

One major difference is that Comet Desktop's back-end has been rewritten entirely in Perl.

Note

The entire Comet Desktop backend is being rewritten to work on top of Mojolicious!

To keep up to date on the progress, join the Comet Desktop Discussion Group.
