In talking with Eric Chatonet it seems RevNet could benefit from implementing ECMI soon. While I'm at it I plan to also revise devolution and its updater to...
... Sounds good. The two libraries I'll be demonstrating at RevCon West will be pretty ECMI-compliant so I'll get a chance to review that during my talk there....
To make ECMI easy to use we need at least two tools: an editor for quickly reading and setting ECMI properties, and a sample "updater" library demonstrating...
I think it is a good idea to have an optional standard like this, but in order for it to become widespread, it needs to be as easy to implement as possible....
Ken and I were talking about the Rev Interop Project today and felt it would be useful to use "Rev Interop" ("RIP") for general discussions of interoperability...
... Agreed. ... I can add non-proprietary licenses, including GPL, X11, and a public domain template. Given that proprietary licenses are often unique, ...
Hello Richard, Ken and others, Good job :-) First thoughts: I agree Sarah's comments. May be I don't understand correctly (and I think so... - I try to improve...

... Facilitating auto-updates is a key element of RIP - from Ken's latest draft: uRIP["updateInfoURL"] Universal resource locator to a plain text file on a web...
Richard et. al., Have you thought of an "owner abbreviation registry"? There might be ten "STS" s, two "4W"s, eight "Alt"s and forty five "SS"s (in addition to...
... While the Rev interop project suggests using likely-unique naming conventions, we have no way to enforce it and doing so would be an onerous task for the...
Hi Richard, Well, it seems that I stated the obvious (my bad english, as always...). But this probably means that all these features are sure to be welcome :-)...

Hi Ken, I would prefer a list as I explained it in a previous mail: This file could be a simple tab/tab/return text file easy to parse, a project by line...
... What about adding an image ID to the RIP property set? It would indicate the icon that could be used for adding a plugin to Chipp's altPlugin stack or...
Hi Ken and Robert, The current spec is at: http://www.altuit.com/webs/altuit2/altPluginCover/CreateyourownPlugins.htm And as you know, includes an optional PNG...

... Thanks for joining in the discussion, Chipp. Most of the Alt spec is a subset that directly maps to RIP properties, so a getProp makes instantly...
Hi Richard, ... Yes, this is IMO key. We need to be able to dynamically change the location of the download URL, therefore it should not be included in the ...

Sarah suggested that any place where there is a date (like in the uRIP["date"] property, or in the update document stored at uRIP["updateInfoURL"]) that a...
