Sivakatirswami,
Sorry, I haven't followed your project in detail. How does the
digital magazine work? Would I be able to launch it from a launcher
app as a demo of sorts?
BTW, this conference is in Hawaii, in Honolulu. Are you on Oahu?

Shameless Self Promotion here:

You can subscribe to Hinduism Today Digital Magazine for free. The
concept was seeded by Dan's Smart Books, with added features built
into a prototype by our team here and the "heavy lifting" coding
was done by Andre.
But I think the concept of a Revolution front end to PDF resources
that live on a web server and are downloaded and stored as a
library on the local hard drive is a very solid concept for the
edu world.
of course Dan's book is also there as a teaching tool.

Dear Revolutionaries,
Next week I, along with another member of this list, am giving a
presentation/demo of web-enabled sofware produced with Revolution
at the CALICO symposium. CALICO is a leading organization
promoting the use of computer-based language learning
applications. (Its members include many higher ed and K-12
language teachers, who are precisely the kind of "inventive users"
that Dan Shafer describes.) I'm going to be demoing some of my
recent projects, and making available a "Learning Web" application
to attendees. This is a minimal, "launcher" application that will
allow them to run web-based stacks to see the possibilities of web-
aware applications that are free of the encumbrances of web browsers.
I would also like attendees to be able to examine other great
stacks that some of you have created. This seems like a great way
to show them the wide range of applications possible with
Revolution. So, I am seeking both suggestions and permission to
give URLs of your best web-based Rev stacks to these educators.
The launcher app will only run the stacks over the http protocol,
and will not save them to the local disk. I will only give out
URLs with specific permission from the authors.
So, Revvers, what do you want the world to see? URLs please.
(Scott Rossi, I'd especially love to show them some of the
beautiful work you've done.)
BTW, I'm a little new to this distributed model for running
software, so if any of you have any advice or cautions for me
before I present this in a public presentation I'd love to hear them.
(And, RunRev, I think I'm staying legal here. Please advise me if
you have concerns.)
Thanks in advance.
