A long sabbatical, but it's time to start pushing Atlas forward again
now that the Wikia Search stuff is really going good and can serve as
our early adopters :)
I've been working quietly for a few weeks to really circle back and
think about Atlas and how to get the protocol to a usable state, and
one of the things I've learned is wonderful over the last year is
JSON, and I've combined the two and updated some of my ideas about how
a knugget is defined:
http://search.wikia.com/wiki/Atlas#What_is_a_knugget.3F
It's really rather terse yet, but hopefully it will start to make
sense (and probably morph a lot) as we start to play with it in
practice. I've also made a really really simplistic Factory, I suppose
you could say it's the most minimal one possible to implement (just
change url for other pages):
http://re.search.wikia.com/do/factory?url=http://perl.com/
It supports an optional &callback=foo to add a function wrapper around
the JSON. Also, importantly, it's returning a whole bundle of
knuggets for the given document, and every knugget is identified
individually, like the main document one would be:
http://re.search.wikia.com/do/factory?url=http://perl.com/#doc
Anyway, wanted to put this out quick to wake up the list, and that
there should be a steady stream of updates as both the demo factory
improves and there's some demo collector/CQ and broker work done to
accompany it :)
