-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello,
I've been thinking that in order to bolster the development and acceptance of Ur/Web, it might be a suitable time to try to come up with a "killer app" that will demonstrate the real-world applicability of Ur/Web. Given that there are a number of people on this list who are now doing Ur/Web development, it seemed sensible to try to recruit a number of people who would be interested in contributing to such an effort. My vision was to create something that could be launched as a real public-facing service. It should be relatively ambitious, I think. It should be our goal to build the "largest" Ur/Web application to date, such that we can perhaps identify some known boundaries within which Ur/Web can be shown to be applicable. It's not entirely clear to me what an appropriate demonstration might be at this stage, however, here are a few thoughts (in no particular order, and without any close consideration given to merit): * A Facebook application * A Twitter clone (leveraging Ur/Web's FRP model to do real-time stuff) * Web chat (a la Omegle) * A Wiki system * ... something else? Suggestions are obviously welcome. Primarily at this stage I think it would be very helpful for interested parties to get together on IRC or within some kind of collaborative setting (a GitHub project, perhaps) and start thinking about what we would like to develop, what this will require, and who is going to do what. Adam has at this stage agreed to support such a project in some kind of consultant role, at least. For the moment, if you are interested, please reply on-list with any ideas/comments/criticisms. Thanks, Gian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJNpBl/AAoJEDd5xfOXfbYMvFYH/00Eaits79B8NsSECFSRjAj7 /XU/rNsTchvzMj3tM2hdxaw71qD+gKFSpMnjaFDpkQpNN83HHrTV4r2iGavdo5py vvwJTTmp3i9p7zcOnkSBw1KTBmnyYL5pxokaz99ul/eXpsn/+cIsJ5CfQHnaiIRF RR0bx11arG0IuNROjvp8hZWTU5WXVxJ4kxvDsrwHIY4bWmXZS2NpRyNZl1+X6XQp w02uneN9JwV9DGxl+bASsYNh11GKcKEhrq0GL/RZ9mWbCdgCEStAq3EzA2wWljud 3clwDVPxu2YCkLQ/wG+m/rHCI2di4yGlrAljQzsHU5gDPXtM3mn7JqtxyRi/fuA= =h5p6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Ur mailing list [email protected] http://www.impredicative.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ur
