Definitely, except I didn't even try to take action :)

I don't think that the approach to port emacs to run into the browser would
be the
one offering the best reward. Once you manage to fix all the difficult
point, you will
probably get something unbearably slow.
I think the best reward would be to build a ShareEmacs in the same vein as
ShareLaTeX
(merged with Overleaf now).
The big step would be to run emacs on a server and render emacs in the
browser.
Then to allow several users to edit concurrently the same org file.
My 0.02€ :-)
