Hello WiAB, As a separate server project manager, I have some ideas (not for version 1.0) and questions on Wave protocols.
Firstly, I am not clear how deltas are sent in the Federation Protocol (assuming, as I very much hope, it makes it into 1.0). Can someone clarify how those deltas are formatted. Secondly, when I looked over Google's tutorials for the Simple Data Protocol and gadgets, it struck me that they could better accommodate offline clients, and the Wave This and embedding APIs were highly centralized. So I've designed a plain TCP/IP alternative to Simple Data Protocol using the same concepts, a simpler standard for Gadgets (which does not need browser integration), and a URL scheme (which I think is similar to yours) for embedding. Not wanting these to be proprietary, I will share them if I get some interest. Again I am not proposing for release 1.0. I must also say I do not seek to insult these protocols with what I said, because they are superb and everything can be improved. Thirdly, I think that there should be a better place to discuss protocols, and read up on them, which ideally would be decentralized just like IETF and W3C. Again this is no ones fault for not needing it at the point, but if there's me and you, it'll be great to have a standards organization to encourage others. -- [email protected] -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Or how I learned to stop worrying and love email again
