There has been some dialogue about 'mashups' on the Scooby
channel
recently.
What is a 'mashup'?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mashup_%28web_appli
cation_hybrid%29
Here are some preliminary question I'd like to propose and
then we will
follow up with an IRC session.
1. What are some 'mashup' ideas that could work with
Scooby? What about
Cosmo?
2. Is there a way to package this off to a contributor?
Would that be an
ideal project to have a contributor work on?
3. What technical difficulties would the development
community need to
overcome?
4. At what point are we talking about a 'mashup' (where it
may lives on
someone else's site) verses an extension that enhances the
Scooby user
experience? Or Cosmo? (similar to ad blocks for Firefox.)
Please also send in your favorite 'mashup' URLs.
Here are a few discussed already:
