Yes!  Absolutely!

What did you guys have in mind?  Building out a light-weight web-dev
thing?  I wouldn't be able to help with the Mozilla bits, but I think
I could lend a hand with coming up with some sort of best practice for
building local web apps.  Would they run from the XO?  Or are you
talking about building stuff that's optimized for the XO, but would
run on a server?
