Let's see whether Ries can also agree on LibreCAD online with v3:

v3 is cleaner with pure c++11 engine.
v3 is ready to adopt a new renderer

emscripten can compile c++11 to JavaScript;
html5 can do all drawings needed by LibreCAD.

If the buttons/Events are difficult to implement, we may just provide a power user mode to run command lines on web.

Interestingly I was going to suggest the idea of LibreCAD online
last week when I was thinking about http://paperjs.org/

I became aware of it back when
I was using adobe illustrator for geometric construction.
Scriptographer was a scripting plugin made by the same person,
which allowed me to write my own tools that AI lacked.
When adobe killed support for it, with cs6, I moved on.

After trying several programs I found LibreCAD thanks to http://alternativeto.net/

All that aside, my opinion about making an online version is: wait.
Let stuff grow a little longer.
