[Owncloud] Impressionist App for ownCloud

[Jan-Christoph Borchardt]

Hey Raghu,

I’ve been checking out Impress.js for quite some time and am also
excited about good editors for it. Impressionist was the first one but
now development seems to be going slow – most updates are older than a
few months.

There is another editor for Impress.js called Strut (disclaimer: I did
the logo and sometimes help with the interaction design) you can test
drive it at http://tantaman.github.com/Strut/ and the code is at
https://github.com/tantaman/Strut
Development is very active, Matt the author is cc'd.
Strut is also working in Firefox, which I think is an important requirement.

Just as a notice – I’m not saying you should change your app, and I
would be excited for Impressionist to pick up steam again. But
currently Strut seems the superior choice.
