It doesn't have to be in depth about how it works, just shows what it does and doesn't do (i.e. it just wraps the core vobject and property api, right, not all the metaobjects [yet]?) and how to go about trying to use it, maybe give some examples. How do you build it? (run setup.py?) Reed > >

How do listener notifications fit in with the S5 vobject-as-logical-thread idea? I'm thinking specifically about impact on ability to scale number of objects that one listener is listening to. I'm guessing listener notifications are processed same as any other messages in the vobject's mess

In making A3DL we did take some inspiration from VRML. However, VRML (and X3D) have some aspects that if adopted directly would make A3DL a bit less efficient or more cumbersome. We have all the structure that comes from VOS to use. X3D does some stuff just because VRML did it, and VRML97 does

Yeah, so his ideas cut accross all kinds of layers and aspects of networking. so I don't think VOS can be "THE" solution to the problems he explains, but it can provide a few key tools. Namely it can be a data storage system, both for originals, and replicated copies, and for store-and-forward,

Yes, only some things would be versioned, or have different policies as Lalo suggests. Yes, child linking has to be preserved correctly. I think we can basically take an object's child list as part of its state. When you make a new version you might change those, or copy them whole from the origi

I guess each copy, whether changed or not, should have a pointer to its original. I wonder if any vobject version should not have it's versions "inside" it, but simply have a pointer to it's predecessor (or the other way around, an object has links to all its derivatives). Then you can have dif
