I've finally managed to find the time to complete the Wookie installation work. Well, the first stage of it at least. Thanks to Jasha at the hackathon for helping me get back up to speed with how Rave works these days.
Currently the location of the Wookie is hard coded to a test server running in Oxford. Clearly this needs to be customisable. I've not added any W3C widgets to user screens by default as this should still be considered alpha. However, I have added a basic chat widget to the database. To test it out search for "chat" in the widget store and add the resulting widget to a page. If you log into a different browser or a different machiine with a different user and add the same widget you can chat across the browsers. Note, this uses a SNAPSHOT Wookie-Connector. Wookie is on target to release this becore Rave 0.5. However, if it does not manage to do so we can roll back to the 0.9 release which includes the necessary code. Finally, I have a request. Can someone who will be at ApacheCon please help me set up my dev environment properly. I am a complete Maven newbie. I can't believe that the development cycle should be as painful as I'm finding it. -- Ross Gardler (@rgardler) Programme Leader (Open Development) OpenDirective http://opendirective.com
