CloudCanvas: HTML5-based Digital Media Editor

"If you've been interested in using a web-based image editor but you've found them slow or too tied-down to plugins you might not have access to everywhere you want to work, CloudCanvas is a fast HTML5-based editor that frees you from plugins."

If you are the creative type, and would like to try out a HTML5-based editor, CloudCanvas seems worth taking a look at - particularly as they have a "Design Competition" that may allow you to win one of three $500 awards (submissions are due by Sep 12, 2010). Still new enough to be called a "Beta," the CloudCanvas site provides a basic introduction to their features and underlying technology, but for now it is largely learn on your own: at the time checked their Documentation was sparse (an outline of Menu Items), and the "Discussion Forum" had precisely 0 (as in Zero...) posts, and only a single, very brief, FAQ. Still, I was able to open the editor in both Firefox and Opera, and create a very simple "Drawing" in each: those who are more adept at using image editors will probably be able to grasp CloudCanvas without too much difficulty.
