Possible roadmap

Interactive Panel - Word Count
- A flash panel that will submit the current page state to Taporware and return the results within the page. This self-contained page functionality will both serve as the base of the project's TAPOR connectivity and it's spiritual
Standards-based text viewing
- Text displayed in a SEEM text will be probably be organized, in the backend, using TEI Lite.
Modularity
- In making documents more modular, they be more fully separated into objects, and able to be recombined in customizeable ways. For example, akin to MediaWiki^?, a document can be split up into sub-category objects and recombined by simple references.
TEI Lite import
- Ability to import a TEI XML text into an object.
Basic text editing
- Ability to create and save simple texts within the SmartText, using HTML syntax. In this early stage, the title, date, and body will be implemented.
Style states
- Allow objects to be displayed in either an editing state or a published state
Fragment identifier implementation
- Show different states of the document based on the URI.
- e.g. http://www.example.com/#edit/document1 would link specifically to the editing interface for "document1", while http://www.example.com/#publish/document1 would link to a published version of the same text
TEI Lite export
- Ability to export TEI Lite files.
Tags and Tag-based Recombination
- The ability to add semantic keywords to objects, and to display a page state organized by those tags.
Advanced Panels
Search
- within document
- within set of documents
Other Future Features
- RSS Import, RSS Export, Attractive Design, Image Support, Style customization from within the document

Peter Organisciak got pulled into this project by Geoffrey and Shawn, but his infatuation with TiddlyWiki^? has lasted for years. He's fascinated with XML and JSON, and thus is most interested in the possibilities of internal modularity within SEEM documents. He's trying to figure out how to explain this project to his mom.

Search their text and Analyze their text using both built-in and remote text analysis tools

Above all, users should be able to do all this without any tools other than an agreeable browser while having the functionality of a server supported environment.

What's the Idea?

That we give the community that doesn't have access to well configured servers a viable SmartText that seems to have all the editing, publishing, and analysis features of a server-supported text analysis and publishing environment.

Line: 41 to 56

We need specifications written for SEEM 1.0
We need the base code written so that modules can be added
We need someone who knows about software engineering to rewrite this list of things to be done.

What background documents and ideas are relevant to this project?

OpenDOC

As Geoffrey reminds, the concept behind Apple's OpenDOC compound document format lends some inspiration to the idea of combining embedded snippets of functionality based on the function of a document. Check out this video for a fun look back at Apple's marketing vision for OpenDoc.

Shawn Day

Shawn Day appreciates the silliness of the name and continues to like the concept of TiddlyWikis^? and tools such SIMILE's Timeline and Exhbit that allow for the sharing knowledge online with a minimum of fuss. I think that we need to start small and demonstrate where we can go the concept of a SmartText. I'm there to do what I can. Let's start to build something.

A gift is the work of givers who see that they have the skills to help others. In the giving they discover something together. Do you want to give to this project? Here is how:

Figure out the state of the project and the goals of the project.
Identify something you can give to this project and talk with the rest of us about it.
Create a page linked to this page under the About Contributors section that introduces you and describes what you want to give to the project so that the rest of us can work with you.
Do something and celebrate.

What needs to be done and who is doing it?

Here is a preliminary idea of what needs to be done:

We need a code versioning system set up so that versions of SEEM can be
We need a discussion list set up to discuss what SEEMs to be
We need specifications written for SEEM 1.0
We need the base code written so that modules can be added
We need someone who knows about software engineering to rewrite this list of things to be done.

Background

What background documents and ideas are relevant to this project?

Recombinant Documents

Greg Crane is What Do You Do with a Million Books? talks about "recombinant documents" that can learn from each other (through automated mining and linking) and can learn from their users. Crane is looking at the large scale and imagining a document publishing system that is on a server and which can do the mining and user tracking to add intelligence to the documents. SmartText looks at the individual text and asks what we can build into a text so that it can recombine itself and others.

UFOs (Ubiquitous Findable Objects)

Ubiquitous Findable Objects is a term coined by Peter Morville, author of Ambient Findability, for an emerging type of object that can communicate its location, personal information, and purpose so that it can be found. In an exploding information universe we need to endow certain documents with the metadata and intelligence so that they can be found appropriately and so that they can find what they are needed for.
