Experimentation

Tarpipe promising but limited

Has its strengths• Many connections, Flickr, Facebook, Delicious, REST,

Evernote, etc.• Missing some scripting options

Alternative:• Yahoo! Pipes

o Much more matureo More powerful options (processes any XML document)

Planning & Task Assignments• Signing up & working with Evernote &Tarpipe (DONE, all)

• Develop applications: (mostly Erik)o Request API keys  (evernote API) (Done, Erik)o Book/cd/dvd inventory (DONE, Rens & Erik) DVD , Darwin o Knowledge repository (Erik actually using it)o Translation service (Erik, probably will use Yahoo Pipes)

• Compare aspects: (whole group excl. Erik)o Feasibilityo Added valueo Other applications

• Evernote (group excl. Erik)o Business modelo Historyo Community

Research

• Comparing Evernote to e.g. Google Desktop search is 'comparing apples and oranges'.

• From our activities we will do an assessment of the usefulness of Evernote (possibly) with Tarpipe.

• It will be an exploratory review of the possibilities & limitations, backed by real-world testing & experiments.
