[OSM-talk] Potlatch 3 for desktop

[John Whelan]

Could you just touch on the security side for a moment.  I get the 
impression that if AIR is installed then as long as only potlatch is 
used then the security risk is very low unlike Flash.  Can I assume that 
a browser will not call on it to display part of a web site?

Yes I know I'm paranoid.

Thanks John
