home AmayaZopeNotes

Immersive hypertext editing is, alas, not quite as ubiquitously deployed as HTTP and HTML, which were designed to support it. Hmm... CostEffectiveHTML.

Amaya is an immersive editing client, and Zope is a collaborative server platform. But unfortunately they don't always get along.

The first quirk I noticed was gratuitous base tags; turns out to be Zope's fault. see ZopeTweaks.

Amaya's cut and paste bugs bite me pretty often. It's usually able to recover after a crash, thank goodness.

But I'm wrestling with some sort of "failed to save" interaction that I can't (Oct 2002) nail down.

So I'm trying Mozilla's composer. Its linking UI sucks, but otherwise, I'm fairly satisfied. At least the "publish" button works now; I don't have to save locally or any of that malarky like in previous composer versions.

This page supercedes older notes as of Oct 2002.
