Table of Contents

The Basics

• Members -- Who's working on it
• Products -- Hardware and Software that we have/might buy from other companies

Stuff in Progress

• Final Writeup (& CHI paper)
• Unresolved Issues -- this is basically a TODO list

Completed Stuff

• Plan for the summer (one page description)
• More detailed description of PALplates, our vision, etc.
• Related Work -- This is basically the result of our literature search. The actual papers are in a binder in my office.
• Information about the paper protytpe, sneakernet, etc.
• Information about the architecture of the java version.
• Talks ...
  • Talk about current status (6/24)
  • Notes taken during talk
  • Hardcoded java version laying out scenario of finding printer paper. The java code for this version is on schilit.pal.xerox.com in \\Schilit\cafe_palplat\oldPALplate. The html files are in ~palplate/public/*.htm,l
  • Notes from presentation of current java version (7/15)
  • Poster is hanging on wall (where?). The demo used for the poster presentation is available, as is the java code used for that demo (see \\Schilit\cafe_palplat\posterPALplate on schilit.pal.xerox.com)
  • Current java version demo is available. In order for it to work, you better make sure that the moo is up and running on palweb (do a ps to check). If it isn't you can cd to ~palplate/MOO and type "restart test" .... make sure gzip is in your path, though. The best browser to use is Netscape 3.0.
• Code for the current java version is on schilit.pal.xerox.com in \\Schilit\cafe_palplat\PALplate
• Other java code I wrote is all in \\Schilit\cafe_palplat\.... The draggableButton was a test app for drag & drop stuff. The final version is incorporated into PALplate (and may have some changes added). VWeb is a project I did at georgia tech last quarter which involved connecting to a mud using java. I've been stealing some code from it. testButton was where I tested out different types of buttons later used in the PALplate code. mudTest is left over from a bug I had when connecting to the mud. I extracted the essential mud connection stuff in order to find the bug. Since then, I've changed the mud code to inherit from Object instead of Thread, and fixed the bug so you probably don't want to look at mudTest.
