Re: [ecf-dev] RT Shared Editing Call
|
Hi Mustafa,
Thanks for the notes...I also created a wiki page for recording ideas,
images, etc for RT shared editing next steps:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/RT_Shared_Editing_-_Next_Steps
Of course I put a link on this page to this mailing list and this
discussion thread, so we can easily go back and forth (and with
bugs/enhancement requests). If this becomes difficult to manage
(because of wiki page, mailing list, bugs), then feel free to remove it.
Thanks,
Scott

Hi,
This is a short summary of our call from earlier today, see
http://doodle.com/participation.html?pollId=kwgxp28yq3stpu3x
James, Remy, Marcelo, Scott and I were on the call.
James outlined what their use case(s) for utilizing ECF shared editing
look like. They're apparently building an Eclipse-based IDE for a not
further specified language - from what I understood, probably
something along the lines of VHDL/hardware-descriptive.
The primary representation seems to be an abstract model, which can be
mapped to various textual and graphical representations.
Real-Time Shared Editing which supports modification of the graphical
model representation is their main interest.
From an ECF point of view, James' interest is very fortunate, since
we've been thinking about tackling the extension of shared editing
beyond the text domain and struggling with coming up with a suitable
use case.
I've suggested that James watches the Cola Google Tech Talk from last
year [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfeUCT-tRJQ ], since in the case
of modification of graphical models, we will have to identify atomic
operations, conflicts and resolutions that are different from text
editing. The general resolution mechanism will remain similar.
The current plan is to follow up with another conference call, either
next week or the week after.
In the second part of the call, I've shared an idea about which Scott
and I had talked about during EclipseCon. I would love for us to
explore the feasibility of extending and integrating Workspace
Resource Sharing and DocShare.
The use case I have in mind would involve a user to share a project
and all initial resources with a remote user. All subsequent changes
to the project, such as the addition and removal of resources (e.g.
new files etc.) would be propagated to the respective remote site
transparently. As soon as two users open the same project file in an
editor, this new integrated project sharing feature would initialize a
real-time shared editing session for the file - also done
transparently without prompting a user.
Let's bounce this idea off of each other and brainstorm if this would
be something you'd like to see materialize in one form or another.
Feedback is *welcome* ;)
