The more I imagine the almost infinite number of possibilities of creating/curating/remaking...in indefinite number of ways/styles/methods/perspectives..., the more Anotat-İST becomes a restory ever accessed and renarrated.

Alsi and her e-words

E-words Essence... Of you sitting there, listening, absorbing, pondering, stirring things up, articulating, ... It felt really good. I really appreciated and enjoyed the essence of your presence.

hanks for sharing some of the output from the event! A write-up of the events would be fabulous.

Thanks too for letting me join in briefly on Friday and present on Saturday.

Here is the Annotator 2.0 storage plugin that will (hopefully) facilitate the architecture we looked at: https://github.com/bigbluehat/annotator-pouchdb

I wrote most of it on Saturday after I signed off, and then turned it into a (...rather buggy, but promising...) Firefox extension--which I hope to release soon.

In the end, adding PouchDB (one part of the federation story I presented) to a Firefox add-on took some minimal "hacking" but otherwise was the usual Firefox add-on programming work.

My hope is that This Sort Of Thing could be used for all sorts of content--not just annotation--and provide a foundation for device-to-cloud, cloud-to-cloud, and device-to-device (this one's my personal favorite) synchronization and data sharing.

Here's hopin'! ;)
