Hi all,
This might be a bit off-topic but I'd like to invite you all to comment
on the results of our latest research project called ColaDI.
Here is our latest video showing the conferencing bundle built on Apache
Wave:

You can get all the details in the project's website
(http://coladi.inevo.pt). We are still updating the site but there are a
couple of other videos there you can watch if you'd like to.
Some background for "wavers":
- WAIB is integrated with Nuxeo ECM by running an embedded Jetty
instance in the Tomcat Runtime. This is currently only used for the
socketio servlet (mainly for websockets), all other servlets have been
deployed directly to Tomcat.
- The annotation panel is rendering a separate wavelet with a single
blip and a custom Doodad. We currently have the document exactly as the
original SVG which is very inefficient since for stuff like PATHs we
have to replace the whole attribute. The idea is to change the document
to something more optimized ( that's why we didn't go with a gadget in
the first place since we'd like to have control of both the rendering
and the document as well as the granularity of the document ops)
- The body document is using a RDF schema with SVG for annotations
- The annotated document can be 2D (<svg/> or <image/>) or 3D (X3D
using X3DOM - webgl)
- When a conferencing session is started a custom wavelet factory
creates a new wave with all the wavelets and the required initial
content. It also is responsable for adding the participants as well as
the meeting robot.
- The MeetingRobot listens to document changes and maintains the meeting
minute structure ready for rendering.
- Minutes are rendered using Freemarker along with XHTMLRenderer for
producing PDF files.
We'd love to get all sorts of comments/suggestions. We are currently
mostly dealing with the required paperwork (forms, reports, etc) for
formally closing the project, since this was a national funded project,
but will soon start polishing the solution and looking for ways to
monetize it.
Regards,
Nelson Silva
