Agenda, Meeting of Wednesday, June 17, 1998

Admin

• The college is holding a small World-Wide Web workshop the week of July 13. It would be nice to have some of our stuff ready by then.
• The dean is unable to fund serious trips. It is, however, likely that he will be able to fund trips to regional meetings. Sorry, no Webnet submissions (unless you want to submit something with me as coauthor and have me present).
• Let's work on slightly more detailed minutes that cover more of what's not already in the agenda for the day.
• Reminder: we'll meet tomorrow and then not again until next Tuesday.

Annotation System

• We were each to come up with an "architecture" for the subsystem. So let's go with the presentations.
  • Mine is available online.
• Hilary is completing the "annotation tree" presentation portion and will give a demo.
• Reminder: we want to consider user-customizable presentation of annotations.
• Proposed work for Sarah: continue thinking about how to incorporate annotations into a page (and start to work on doing so).
• Proposed work for Hilary: to be determined (perhaps work with Raphen on using JavaScript to get some information on the window).

Logging Subsystem

• Is it currently working?
• In what form are the data being sent? As bytes, or as ASCII representations of the bytes. Note that it's often the case that it costs the same to send 4 bytes and 1 kilobyte.
• Is there a way to open a window onto the log, so we can start and stop the viewing?
• What are the current plans for the future?

Analysis Subsystem

• Any progress on multiple windows?
• Any progress getting and changing data? It might be worth considering a very simple "data to and from human readable" translator.
