Chris, It's in the subject line. :-) S.I.S. is just my way of referring to that data I carry around in the Palm and access with the Palm Desktop, which could someday in the future be replaced by some set of objects running in Twisted, including Twisted PIM. "Seamless information space" describes an experience of relating to the data, as not having the data be *a* file on *that* computer, but as an integrated set of data that you can access anywhere, even if you are offline (like on the Palm). To clarify my previous statement, I meant that it would be cool to have multiple _simultaneous_ views into the same information space, which being client-server, shouldn't be a problem, right? It could be multiple web browsers, I suppose, or multiple GTK+ clients. An example of that idea in the Palm Desktop case would be to have two or more instances of Desktop visible, each displaying different categories of data, so you can work in different data contexts without flipping back and forth. Roughly, the virtual equivalent of having several books open on your desk to just the right spot in each. The Palm Desktop currently isn't designed to let you do that, and that limitation can be frustrating. How is TwistedPim coming along?

Random thought of the day:
Speaking of S.I.S., ;-), I'm finding that I really want *multiple* views onto my the data that I'm carrying around. One Palm Desktop window into the data is restrictive.

Ok, first off, what's SIS? If you're talking about TwistedPim, then we do plan on having multiple GUIs for whatever pim interfaces you want (web, Palm, GTK+..). *Are* you talking about TwistedPim? -- Chris Armstrong carmstro@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/~carmstro carmstro@dynup.net _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
