    • Post Dec 1st: Berlin? Hackerbeach? South East Asia?
  • BerlinJS : lightning talk : job offers, …
  • apps.berlinjs : lightning talk : job offers, …

Decisions

  • Separate example server and app as “starter kit”
  • Jon will be “core communicator” slash core maintainer of remoteStorage.js
  • Spec 02a will be 02, 5apps commits to getting rs.js code for that in master

To do

  • michielbdejong - separate example server to own-repo “starter-kit” (like hoodie, as npm module, download zip, git clone, depend on reStore?)
  • michielbdejong - will try to get a copy of the RS Walkthrough that nilclass gave during the '13 unconference

(the two berlinjs mentions don’t belong in the last bullet point and represent seperate items)

8

Fixed. Thanks.

cool! i’ll rename the spec -02a -> -02 now. i’ll also add SPDY as a “MAY” (wasn’t in there yet).

10

Is that necessary? It has nothing to do with remoteStorage itself, as it only affects the communication between browser and server, regardless of what HTTP features you’re using. To both remoteStorage clients and servers, there’s no difference in what they’re doing.

11

i think it’s nice to encourage it, people may forget about it otherwise and i think it’s important to clarify that for instance we don’t support batched requests for that reason, because you can do SPDY. it’s only a MAY, though, so won’t harm anyone.

you can see the current version here, please proofread it: https://github.com/remotestorage/spec/blob/master/draft-dejong-remotestorage-02.txt

Ok, makes sense to me like that.
