In their words: a CECS.Online timeline
I wrote this timeline of the UW CECS.Online project up over period of time but actually I was able to assemble most of it from past research I had done. I refrained from editorializing so far in the post on UWS (which they posted to reader-directed content without telling me…) and on uw.general but now I’m going to do it here.

Alexandra thoughts
After the first release of Alexandra, I discussed with several people a major flaw, which was that it did not preserve the RNG order as given in the schema when it added or changed elements. I was concerned I would need to use some sort of database update-type scheme. I wasn’t keen on this as the only xml update project that seemed to be anywhere near a state of completion was XUpdate and it wasn’t very complete, and also seemed like a hassle. I realized later that I could generate XSLT to do the update. More recently I was working on how to pass through the positioning information for both elements that are already instantiated and ones that aren’t. I seem to have that completed now. So, at this point I believe it is possible to generate only RNG-valid instances using alexandra.

The Economist :<blockquote>Moreover, as software is often built on the achievements of others, writing code could become a legal hurdle race. By analogy, if Haydn had patented the symphony form, Mozart would have been in trouble. </blockquote>

VoIP disambiguation
By the way, my point with all of this VoIP nonsense is to point out that it’s not one thing, it’s two things, IP Telephony vs. Voice Chat. That’s my opinion.
