“An IETF proposal to turn iCal into a client/server system. CAP defines how calendaring clients, or user agents, can access and manipulate date in a server-based “calendar store.” CAP uses BEEP for authentication and security.” (from http://www.nwfusion.com/links/Encyclopedia/C/847.html)
The draft is available here: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-calsch-cap-10.txt
Christian Stocker is doing a rewrite of Bitfluxeditor based on Midas. Here’s an excerpt of his mail to the Bitfluxeditor developers mailinglist:
“I was able to insert arbitary elements and intercept/override key/mouseevents, so everything I had doubts about, seems to be possible.Therefore I will give it a try for the BXE NG and try to integrate it. This will save us certainly a lot of hassle with the keyevents handling and hopefully make it faster. Furthermore, the big Ã?, resp. dead keys do also work with midas. I couldn’t get them working with JS keypress events (http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192935 for the record).
Concerning Mozilla < 1.3 /Netscape 7, I think, it should be possible to still support them. We'll use Midas mainly for the typing stuff, not the formatting stuff, so it should be just a matter of additional keyevents in Mozilla <1.3 as it is now (of course, it's much more debugging/testing work, but as long as Mozilla 1.3 isn't that widespread (it's not even out yet..) it's well worth the effort.)"
“The MyLifeBits project aims to put all personal documents and media online, to allow time-shifting, and location independence when you are connected to MyLifeBits.” (Microsoft Bay Area Research Center Media Presence Group), http://research.microsoft.com/barc/MediaPresence/MyLifeBits.aspx. This pointer came in via OSCOM mailinglist.
With CONESYS, one could even decide which of his personal data he wants to share with the public or a certain group of people.
In a recent post to the Xopus mailinglist, Q42 (the company behind Xopus) announced that they will concentrate on the commercial (closed source) version of Xopus and try to make the open source version an Apache project. While Xopus is an XML WISIWYG editor mainly for the IE Microsoft browser, there’s another XML WISIWYG editor working with Mozilla called Bitflux Editor. We are very excited to see, which of those editors will first become IE and Mozilla compliant, as this might be a decisive aspect concerning their use.
ZZ/OSS implemented Bitflux Editor in oc4ware 0.4.2 as a proof of concept.
ZZ/OSS CTO Christian Zonsius did a comparison of both editors a while ago in the oc4ware mailinglist: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=1137299&forum_id=8231
