Andre,
It sounds good to me. I would like to help in any way that I can,
but my Rev skills are fairly weak. At the very least I can be a
stupid user tester :>)

Hello folks,
I've seen my little topic grew to the point of not being related to
the thing I had in mind anymore. People here talking about morfik
and about engine changes, I want again to try to focus on what can
be done now by a group of volunteers by using nothing but
revolution ide add-ons... no externals, no engine changes, no third
party technologies (except maybe xsltproc which is standard on unix
machines).
Let us try to focus on a tool that picks a given stack, process it
and exposes user selected methods as a RPC endpoint. The RPC system
should be simple enough so that we can implement the other side of
it in javascript. This alone will greatly help what we're doing.
We're babies on web development, let us take baby steps.
Objective of this first phase:
* Create a Remote Procedure Call system that is able to expose
revolution handlers or functions as something accesible by a
networked client. Implement this as a selfcontained library, no
magic stuff, just plain code. (possibly REST inspired)
* Create a plugin thing to help with the RPC code, maybe allowing
you to select methods on the topstack to be exposed and thus having
the tool write the stubs for it.
* Create the javascript library to access that RPC system.
* Create a tool that writes glue code to match revolution exposed
methods to javascript methods thus hiding the RPC side from the
developer.
I think those are reasonable objectives for a first experiment,
what people here think?
Cheers
andre
