Introduction

The Hackystat Version 8 Schedule proposes a series of milestones along the way to the 8.0 initial release. This page provides a summary of the proposed features to be made available in this service for each of the milestones.

May 15

The goal is a "mockup" of the UI for this date. Proposed requirements are:

• Design for a polling implementation using period calls to GET as specified in the SensorBase REST API Specification, Section 3.2.5.

• Use the GWT to create whatever controls will be necessary for this widget, and wrap that code into a Google Gadget. At a minimum, this service will require the user to supply: (a) the URI for the SensorBase, (b) their UserKey, and (c) the frequency with which the SensorBase is polled for new data (default to 30 seconds, minimum 10 seconds?)

• Instead of actually doing the GET, read in an XML file that simulates the results of the GET call in Section 3.2.5, parse that index to find the URLs for the individual Sensor Data instances, get those URLs, and format and display the resulting data.

June 1

• Implement improvements suggested from review of the UI mockup.

• Implement improvements suggested from review of the source code.

• Replace the reading in of an XML file by actual GETs on a running SensorBase.

June 15

• Assess performance impact of polling implementation, attempt to figure out if we need to move to a non-polling implementation.
