Alex,
Sorry about the need to modify your application bundle, but
BrailleBlaster has always been written as one word.
I think you are getting ahead of us. It is too early to include
auto-updatre, and a web application is a whold divverent project. We
have to stick to what we are doing. After BrailleBlaster is working as a
desktop application we can consider a Web application.
