Awesome.  Thanks Pamela.  And sorry for the double-posting... I'm still
figuring things out.

[Google Wave APIs] Update on being able to access attachments?

2010-04-14 Thread Mike
I've been looking into an issue that apparently has come up before:

http://code.google.com/p/wave-robot-python-client/issues/detail?id=10

I too am trying to access attachments from a robot (in Python) with no
success.  Is it true that no progress has been made on this issue
since the ticket was accepted in September?

I'm just looking for a status update.  Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
Mike M.

[Google Wave APIs] Performance

2009-10-05 Thread Mike

I'm sure this has already been mentioned somewhere, but just wanted to
do my part and report my experiences.

I'm accessing the developer's sandbox with Firefox 3.5.3 on Gentoo
Linux and it is SLOW.

A wave with very few wavelets (<5) loads ok, but anything with much
more than that has significant lag. Waves with 60 wavelets take a good
20 seconds to load and big conversations with 300+ can take almost 2
minutes. There may be no way around this, but if so even some kind of
progress meter would be an improvement. Right now there's a lag
between the time I click the wave in my inbox and the time anything
displays, with no feedback so I'm not sure if my click was registered.
Then the wave starts to display but there are still parts of it
loading, with no easy way to tell when it's done. I try to wait
because attempting to scroll or interact with the wave in any other
way doesn't work very well until it's fully loaded.

The custom scrollbar doesn't work very well for me either. It's ok if
I just use the arrows to page up and down, but if I try to scroll by
dragging it it's all over the place. I think it's because the "shadow"
of the scroll component that actually controls the scroll offset lags
behind the draggable component instead of sticking with it 1:1. So if
I'm visually scanning the wave for something as I scroll, by the time
it's displayed I've actually already scrolled past it and have to go
back. I end up wobbling back and forth around the area I'm trying to
hit for several seconds. Again, this is much much more noticeable on
bigger waves, because each dragged pixel represents a bigger scroll.
It's still an issue on small waves, just not as bad. I'd rather deal
with an ugly native scrollbar widget at this point.

Also, there is an extreme lag when I type into a wave. As with
everything else, it seems to be proportional to the size of the wave /
number of participants. In a big wave I can type a 7 letter word and
then have to wait a second or two for the display to catch up at the
end. If I write a whole sentence it often takes 30 seconds or more. I
assume it's due to the transmission of each character as it's typed so
others can see it show up on the fly. Hopefully when Draft mode is
enabled it will cut out that transmission completely and work around
the problem. If so I hope there's an account setting where I'll be
able to choose Draft mode by default - it would be very tedious to
check it every time I wanted to type something.

Aside from the slowness there are a few HTML glitches but they're much
less problematic. Notifications at the top of the wave, like "[not-yet-
implemented-user] gave everyone access]" tend to overlap the top of
the wave content. If I start a reply with a bulleted list, the first
bullet line is shifted too far to the left and overlaps my name. The
second line overlaps my image a bit (and the bullet is bigger and
green for some reason). The first correct line is the one lower than
my image - I assume it depends on my font size. Maybe it just needs
some kind of forced float clearing for the "me" block before it starts
the bullets?

Don't take any of this as complaining, just bug reporting.

[Google Wave APIs] Re: Which Robots are available in Wave Preview?

When do you anticipate unleashing robots on the masses?  I've been
looking all over the place and can't find them anywhere.
