The metavid interface is coming along nicely. You can preview the bleeding edge version. If you want it not to crash as much I recommend the “stable†version which in the future should be more stable than the dev version;)
The interface was inspired by the web2.0ish sites such as protopage, PageFlakes, or live.com. The virtual windows are styled via css classes and the and the content in the “virtual windows” will be web service centric. In these services online participants are asked to supplement the context providers modules in the form of an easy to script api for making “Gadgets“, “flakesâ€, or “panels†or in the case of metavid: overlays. Except in metavid your collective participation will be owned by the collective you, not the context provider ;)… given the openness of our application you won’t be restricted to running your overlays in our system under our “brand†as long as you don’t restrict others to do the same
