Hi Michael, The rendering definitions for a participant can be found in FullDomRenderer#render(Conversation, ParticipantId).
In the Google Wave, the conversation model of a wave revealed the creator, but doing so caused some complicated scenarios if the creator gets removed from the participant list. Does some other participant become the creator? Should that be implicit hand-off or explicit? If neither, what does it mean if a wave has no creator? If that original creator gets added back, do they re-acquire whatever capabilities creator-ship previously gave them? Or should the creator not be allowed to be removed? It turned out to be more trouble than it was worth. e.g., in Google Wave, the creator of a wave can modify the access rights of other participants. But if the creator gets removed from the wave, then the ability to control the access of other participants is lost. For WIAB, we took out revealing the creator from the conversation model, in order to avoid such scenarios as much as possible, by encouraging features to use some other approach for identifying special participants. Note that in the underlying data model (WaveletData), the creator is exposed, but with a warning that the creator may not be a participant, so try not to think of the creator as a distinguished participant. In fact, it looks like the only thing the creator is currently used for is to add the ability to search by creator, which may return some odd results when the creator is not a participant. Perhaps we can delete the creator from the data model too. Regarding the toolbar, take a look at EditToolbar. If you'd like to add an extra editing feature unrelated to rich text editing (e.g., inserting gadgets), then the toolbar exposes the ability for you to add buttons to it (EditToolbar#addClickButton). -Dave On Fri, Apr 8, 2011 at 5:35 AM, Michael Pena <mikepena...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm looking for some help on modifying the GUI and adding an "(Admin)" > label > to the user list above the wave to its creator.
