Guess I could have a go at those - they seem client based stuff so I should be able to handle it. I'll download a new checkout now and have a look.
However, Can I have confirmation of the state of that proposed c/s protocol however as Joseph didn't know? At he moment Im a guy that doesn't know how it works at the moment, not knowing what exactly should be implemented/changed, and unsure if he has the skills needed to do it :p Perhaps I'm wrong, or being pessimistic, but at the moment I I feel like I could fix 10-20 client side bugs or feature requests in the time it will take me to understand how the wiab client and server should communicate with eachother. -Thomas On 9 July 2011 19:40, Yuri Z <vega...@gmail.com> wrote: > A great way to familiarize yourself with WIAB is by comepleting > StarterProject<https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&jqlQuery=labels+%3D+StarterProject> > . > > 2011/7/9 Joseph Gentle <jose...@gmail.com> > >> On Sat, Jul 9, 2011 at 8:19 AM, Thomas Wrobel <darkfl...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> As far as I know, the client-server protocol for wave in a box is >> >> pretty stable at this point.
