Potential - Interactivity<br />

(no workaround)<br />

We’ve seen a lot of great demos at this conference show<strong>in</strong>g off <strong>in</strong>teractive charts, graphs, and<br />

maps which can be hugely beneficial for educational materials, lett<strong>in</strong>g readers get a feel for<br />

how someth<strong>in</strong>g works or slice the data to the part that’s most <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g to them. The bad<br />

news is that this requires JavaScript; for security reasons we can’t let just any potential<br />

contributor to expose everyone to arbitrary JavaScript, which could lead to session takeover<br />

and compromised accounts. The good news is that it should <strong>in</strong> most cases be possible to<br />

comb<strong>in</strong>e crowdsourced static <strong>SVG</strong>s with a smaller number of JS libraries which have been<br />

vetted; common behavior patterns can then be attached to data sources and UI elements<br />

provided <strong>in</strong> the <strong>SVG</strong>.
