This is where we're headed with DAV, XML / DOM, Zope Studio, etc.
Thanks this is a wonderful!
Sorry the demo only works (today) with MS IE v. 5+. If you can get to a desktop with this installed, it is such a trip to swipe some content, and edit in place, without a #%&@ text box! So this is what Tim Berners Lee had in mind with that funny little put method . . .
No kidding.. I heard him speak in London a few years ago. A major point he made then was that one of the key features of the first system he built using his NeXT cube was integrated editing. He mentioned hwo easy this was thanks the object builder stuff on NeXT. Went on to say how ironic the rapid success of www had been for him and his colleagues, as they watched the web take off - but with only 50% of the idea. Browse-only passive TV mode no user live edit. Passive implementations instead of the inter-active ones crucial to the first idea for a balanced remote collaboration system. He noted how people were obviously working hard to have all kinds of editing, but still in non-integrated fashion.. lots of html editing but always a separated process with separated update mechanisms. The rest of the talk was about global information space, need for meta-data agent technologies and hopefully emerging XML in this .. - Jsaon
