The specification is in progress, and I am hesitant to send
what we have so
far, as it is only the first two parts, which don't
actually have much to do
with the data storage mechanism. Completion of the
specification is expected
on September first and I will forward a PDF copy to the
mailing list at that
time. I have javadoc generated documentation, but this will
be of no help
without the specification.
The product is very similar to JXTA, from what I hear about
that tool.
The software is already implemented, but we don't feel
comfortable putting
it out there completely undocumented, so we are now in the
process of going
back and describing in detail how we arrived at the product.
Rings is proprietary software, but any webdav/slide plugin
would be publicly
available, open source, and resellable. I would be willing
to contribute to
the development of this plugin as much as I can with my
limited knowledge of
webdav. I am certainly available to answer questions about
rings 24 hours a
day.
I am also willing to make minor (and even major)
modifications to rings to
make this plugin work well, as it is somewhat important to
our popularizing
this tool outside of academia.
I look forward to working with you and your team, Michael.
See you in September.
