The Synergist

The project that is currently offically called the PakNet will be renamed to the XTPNet upon launch, however we accelians already have another name for it -- The Synergist.

What is the Synergist? The Synergist is a Xanalogical replacement for the World Wide Web, based upon the DOCP, a crossplatform language-agnostic RPC and object passing protocol. The Synergist implements Xanalogical features such as transpointing, transclusion, and transcopyright, and has a built-in meritocracy-type economy and a system by which the entire Synergist becomes a massive versioned library of code and data.

I am working now on coding the DOCP base interface and bridges to ObjC, Java, C#, and LSL. The XTP, the protocol layered on top of the DOCP and used for the Synergist, is simple -- forwarded paint methods are called by new objects representing the frame's drawing capabilities, and they forward their drawing and UI methods to the server. This provides a simple method by which the methods, which are configurable, can be used from a server app coded in any language without translation.

The DOCP can also be used for inter-script and inter-object communication on Second Life, and I plan to try to get this as widespread as possible. Unencrypted communications over DOCP/XTP are port/channel 1960, and secure communications are 1984.

I will try to post more info later as things progress.

See you all In-World.
