I have a drawing app (VectorEditor) and it uses shape locking to
prevent multiple participants from selecting the same shapes. But if
someone has shapes selected, and then goes offline, the shapes are
basically locked forever. Though a timeout might work, it would be
better to have a way to find out which participants are online.

Maybe logging off in the <body onunload> but that would not solve the
issue of a lock not getting released due to a crash.
Maybe a bot could know if a user leaves unexpectedly.

Someone several weeks ago came up with the notion of writing a neat
robot-based service that pings a gadget, and then waits for a pong to
confirm its uptime. No implementation code, but that's the general
idea. :)

Hi Jason,
I didnt think it was currently possible for robots to talk properly to
gadgets yet?
I know a robot can catch gadget state (I think this is the right way
around), but it is not possible to alter anything in a gadget. You
need to rebuild the gadget and then re-add it back in the blip.
Am I wrong on this ?
Regards
Anthoni

Vector Editor? ....Is it like SVG? I really think SVG usage is not
being applied to the fullest. I played over 8 years ago games that
were HTML based. Blew my mind away. No flash just html code. I wanted
to make SVG puzzles and math tutor program using SVG.
So wonders what how your program works....

Can't this be inferred from the result of wave.getParticipants()?

I would think so. :) At the moment the only presence types are
online or offline within the Wave system at-large, and whether a user
is part of a wave(let). So if a user's part of the array from
wave.getParticipants(), I'd say that's a good way.

Hi Anthoni,
Here's the post I was mentioning earlier about writing monitoring
services: http://groups.google.com/group/wave-robot-community/browse_thread/thread/10aa2409e088d483#

It uses Raphael which renders all the graphics to SVG or VML so it
should (I use linux so I can't really test) work on IE as well as
modern browsers.

wave.getParticipants() as far as I'm aware (as this is what the app
already does) doesn't show its offline status.
