Hi all, My apologies for the late update on SwellRT. I hope this email could help to clarify the ongoing discussion.
As summary SwellRT objective is to make Wave generic... Instead of Wave Conversations it provides generic Collaborative Objects. Instead of a GUI it provides an API. *Current status:* *JavaScript Beta client* - Based on the original Web client. - No dependencies with GWT UI components. - No dependencies with JSNI thanks to JSInterop. - It allows to mutate and sync Javascript objects (ES6 Proxies). - This implementation is expected to ease generation of Android and iOS clients. - Basic features are in place but some others are still not migrated from alpha. Check out README[1] and Wiki[2] for usage details. To dive into the code, see package *org.swellrt.beta,* and the classes *ServiceFrontendEntryPoint* and *SObjectRemote* *Collaborative Editor Component* Task to provide the Wave text editor as a separated component, so eventually it could be replaced. So far, it exposes following features as API - Annotations - User presence Currently I am debugging it for mobile browsers. Widgets API coming soon. Package org.swellrt.beta.client.js.editor [3] *Federation with Matrix.org* Testing the proposed implementation [4] from GSoC'16 student. We would like to provide a PR asap. *JetPad* We are developing SwellRT together with a real application of it, jetpad.net [5] a collaborative text editor. *Google Sumer of Code 2017* We are also participating in GSoC17 thanks to the support of Universidad Complutense de Madrid and Berkman Klein Center (Harvard) Please encourage any students to send proposals, not limited to our suggestions [6]. Deadline is April 3. For example, we are considering a proposal of e2e encryption based on [7] *Wave + SwellRT* I guess the question to answer in the community is whether SwellRT can be used as is, or adapted, or part of it, to provide a new Wave UI.
