fluidIA + protoscript integration idea

[jlin...@gmail.com]

Hello All,

I am currently building an open source web based prototyping tool
using front end Javascript code and jQuery - http://fluidia.linowski.ca.
It turns out that I am getting close to the stage where I will be
thinking on how to store and describe behaviours and interactions. By
coincidence I came across protoscript and am thinking of integrating
it in my work. Is the protoscript code open source as well? What is
the license?

About fluidIA (fluid information architecture). It will be a web based
tool for prototyping, allowing to draw objects that could be assigned:
behaviours, images, css code, javascript code, html, and urls (loading
existing content within).

The general aim of the tool is to allow rich interactions as well as
increase the speed and ease of prototyping. One way I This I want to
increase speed of prototyping is through object orientation design. In
other words allowing interaction designers to draw out squared
placeholder objects that can be shared across the prototype.

Although I am a one man army at this point I am also interested to
connect with people who might be interested in helping me code, design
and develop this. So if you, or someone else you might know, might be
interested in working with me on this I would gladly take up the
offer. :)

Please have a look at the link and feel free to let me know what you
think.

Cheers,
Jakub Linowski

Absolutely. You should feel free to use it anyway you desire. The only
restriction in the license is just credit the original code/author in
the comments. That's it!

After arriving at Netflix, I am moving our site to jQuery (Queue page
is now using jQuery). So I have been also thinking about how it could
be adapted to jQuery.

But alas:
- family
- book
- Netflix (have a team of 12 here)

I have little time to get back to it.

I'm really curious what you meant by: "So I have been also thinking
about how it could be adapted to jQuery". If you get a chance, I think
it would really be helpful to understand what your future direction
for protoscript is. Are there limitations you ran into? If so, I would
love to hear them out.

In terms of fluidIA I am currently working on the interface design
again. The one major thing which I want to accomplish before I begin
thinking of allowing users to describe events and behaviours is a good
interface to support object oriented design. For example: I want to
allow users to instantiate such things as: size, position, behaviours,
and HTML from objects.

If anyone is interested I could also send over a screen shot.

Cheers,
