[xwiki-devs] FYI: new MIT simile widget -- itunes cover-flow image/doc selection?
This could be an interesting way to select media (images, video/audio, documents) in xwiki: http://www.simile-widgets.org/runway/
This widget lets you display images in a rich interactive visualization similar to that of Apple iTunes known as Cover Flow. It is a Flash-based implementation ... The Flash widget can fire events to update the web page's Javascript. .... The web page's Javascript can change the Flash widget on the fly. Documentation<http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/wiki/Runway> Mailing List <http://groups.google.com/group/simile-widgets> (for technical support, etc.) Code<http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/source/browse/#svn/runway/trunk>(open source, BSD license)...
I think it would be useful in the anchor/link wizard in the wysiwyg editor, lending an itunes style album-cover-flipping style interface to process of link and image. selection in xwiki. It would be great if we could render semi-readable scaled-down thumbnails of existing xwiki documents in the cover-flow browser. Yet another GSOC project... though I bet the basic interface to 'runway' is pretty trivial in xwiki ... (e.g. of similar complexity and interface-ability is the youtube chromeless player: http://nielsmayer.com/xwiki/bin/view/Todo/YoutubeChromelessPlayer then again ... I can't figure out why my example doesn't work in IE, yet fine in safari&firefox -- probably because having a menagerie-a-trois of languages to deal with by adding flash to the picture always leads to trouble...)

really ?? My flash player, though i think I updated it recently, is already too old for this! no too fond of such. paul Le 15-mars-09 à 01:07, Niels Mayer a écrit :

I am against this, since flash is a proprietary, unstandardized format. I'd rather we don't add another requirement in order to be able to use XWiki.
