Near Term Activities for Tango-Interactive
Tango can be downloaded freely from http://www.npac.syr.edu/tango
- 50 downloads a week; 20% of these servers
Upgrade core technology in areas such as browser independence, security, multiple community support, archiving
Enable broader deployment of Tango-Interactive
- Improve User Support and documentation …..
So what is the problem?
- We are “just” a University research group supporting software built on top of wonderful web technology (e.g. browsers) which have bugs and change rapidly
- e.g. it appears that Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 will win browser war
- Many PC’s/workstations have mis-installed or mediocre multimedia subsystems
Focus Tango? e.g.Tango2 will only support fully Internet Explorer?
Package Tango with hardware (multimedia PC) as complete collaborative stations?
