Flightdeck-UI -- the Online Version

[George Belotsky]

The Flightdeck-UI project now has a web-based version, Flightdeck-UI
Online.  See "http://www.openlight.com" for a live demo.

What is Flightdeck-UI
---------------------

The goal of the Flightdeck-UI project is to apply ideas from aircraft
instrumentation design to general purpose user interfaces.

The new web service has a plug-in architecture, and can simultaneously
monitor multiple data sources (including hosts on the Internet as well
as embedded devices) at different sampling rates.  Also, virtually any
Unix command that you enter from the shell can be automatically
executed by Flightdeck-UI Online, and the results displayed by the
system's virtual instruments.

Although the web service requires a Flash front end (developed using
only the MTASC open source ActionScript compiler; see
http://www.mtasc.org/) Flightdeck-UI Online is still primarily written
in Python.

The author welcomes any ideas and suggestions: please email them directly
to "python at openlight.com"

Best Wishes,


George Belotsky.
