Ask HN: What project are you working on over the holidays?
Maybe you've got some time off and you're working on a side project, or maybe your team is in crunch mode to release something early in the new year. Maybe you've had enough technical work for a while, and you're doing something away from a computer over the holidays.
What are you working on over the next couple weeks?
- MichaelCrawford 12y agoI'm self-employed. I've been working on my "Global Computer Employer Index" while looking for gigs, however I am contemplating a KickStarter for it, so I can work on it full-time: http://www.warplife.com/jobs/computer/ http://www.warplife.com/jobs/computer/ So far I've got real content in San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Vancouver Washington, Portland Oregon, Seattle, Boston and Remote work. However I have partial information for many, many other cities that I will post as I get complete info.

- mindcrime 12y agoI'll be working on adding some new features to our Enterprise Social Network project, Quoddy[1]. One thing I plan to work on is the ability to insert a document, and the associated tools for operating on that document, into the stream of events. We already do a basic version of this for BPM events, where you can approve/reject/delay/transfer events from the stream, but we want to generalize that facility a bit and add something for working on files. For now, that will probably mean Google Drive integration, but we'll probably also eventually do something for working with files in a repository using something like JCR[2] and/or CMIS[3]. Longer term, I think we'll do something with Apache Wave[4] and the Operational Transformation[5] stuff as part of this whole idea of putting interactive entities in the stream. It's not all fleshed out yet, but some of the ideas I'm toying with harken back to the old idea of "compound documents"[6] and "intelligent documents"[7], or something like Bret Victor's "reactive documents" stuff[8]. Outside of all that, I plan to finish reading Permutation City by Greg Egan, and Philip C. Jackson's Introduction to Artificial Intelligence.
