Coming out of another discussion. I wondered what people though of the idea of client side distributed agent code, which is embedded in the doc as an alternative to robot automation.
It is a long-term idea, and I believe is a no-brainier. it is optimistic but then again so is a robot, who is just a participant. A areas where a distributed agent would be better than a robot/gadget: 1. formatting such as smilies 2. tedious non critical operations. 3. when then number of operations and events are too high to justify rpc 4. possibility of more directly querying information such as spelly or rosie. 5. be able to make use of some common client widgets such as message box (not alert boxes please!), and dropdown menus, without having to fake it in a gadget. or anything within reason beyond iframe capability. the caja doodad may sort of provide such a functionality, but I think it should be thought out more. Should "cs-da" be just be blip level. I think not. My view is conversations are only one type of object, the default one. Besides they mightn't just be automating just one blip. Agent duplication need to be thought about. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Wave Protocol" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
