Development Path
The initial prototype testing system is to be python+IE+redfoot(RDF)+COM+pisces(SPKI). The reason for this is mozilla is not yet scriptable from python. Activestate will be out with this support soon.
Then onto mozilla, in C++ and wxwindows, with integration with local component systems. The first project there in my mind is user collaborative project workspace, a generalization of a prototype dictionary based project management system I wrote last year in my job as systems programmer here at Penn. At this stage there will be no metadata spreading separate from data, and only brodcast with no complex routing.
From there onwards I want to generalize to a full consumer application. There is an entire ecology of services that can be developed around such a system: cloud storage services, inverse double blind marketing, customized applications for intranets, vertical metadata extraction from document services, namespacing, subnet specific services...
So are you interested in developing a new, cross-platform, web wide object model and browser? What do you guys think? Lets get together and brainstorm more then... I can be emailed at rahul@reno.cis.upenn.edu..whilst this list is appropriate for architectural details, project details are best carried offline, and I will set up development areas soon.
