[Air-l] online tool to present research findings

[Conor Schaefer]

This is a fascinating subject for me. I've sometimes even resorted to 
building presentations in Flash, for offline presentation (although 
being able to upload the same .swf and instantly have an online 
presentation is pretty sweet, too), but overall it's a little clumsy. 
Certainly more labor intensive than a PowerPoint, albeit often visually 
refreshing. I think XHTML would be the best bet to design something, 
preferably coupled with something like the Mozilla Archive Format 
(http://maf.mozdev.org/) for easy portability.

I know that PDFs can link fairly intelligently (both within and to 
outside the document), but I haven't experimented much with embedding 
media. I'm fairly certain it's not possible with standard PDF, but I 
would think someone would have adapted the format, which is an open 
standard, to incorporate other elements....
