A project with Spritely to build their blog example

Geek Repo:Geek Repo

Github PK Tool:Github PK Tool

Deliverables

Create a “real” version of the blog example with:

  • Read-only web view
    • Uses http capabilities and html rendering
  • Updating
    • Updating can be done manually with REPL just fine
    • Need to have “permalink” sturdyrefs for editing
  • Extensibility
    • User 1 creates blog, provides edit access over CapTP to User 2
    • User 2 creates extension (without User 1’s involvement) with multiple stakeholder cooperation, hands access to Users 3 and 4
    • User 3 authors and updates post to User 4’s satisfaction
    • User 4 presses go-live
  • Demonstration with 4 actual users pulling off above process (all updating steps okay to happen at REPL)
  • BONUS: Secure persistence (use Aurie)
