Hi to all, just joined the list :) I'll help with the documentation to begin an implementation from scratch, maybe not as main writer but I'll help to review everything and provide all my experience...
Probably as I have already port wave platform to other language, (c#.net), this might help, and also I'll adapt some pieces of wave-vs code to be open source and share with the project... regards jesus salas On Sat, Dec 11, 2010 at 11:24 AM, Nathanael Abbotts <[email protected]>wrote: > As the project plans to move to a new home at Apache, I feel quite strongly > that it would be a very good idea to draft up some whitepapers (or similar) > clarifying some things that there appears to be quite a bit of confusion > about. > Good code requires good planning and good documentation, and so far, I > haven't seen much planning or documentation regarding a couple of very > important things: > > - Operational Transformation > - OT is one of the fundamental backends of the Wave Protocol, but the > OT whitepaper is extremely lacking.
