FlashHyki for Groove

Tim Knip's FlashHyki is a collaborative Wiki based on Flash and Groove. It offers realtime decentralised collaboration without the need of a server. The Hyki doesn't run in the GrooveClient but in a seperate application created using Flash and Flash Studio Pro. All "cards" are stored in a Groove filestool using Groove WebServices.

The term Hyki was introduced by Ray Ozzie in July 2003

Has anyone yet attempted to create what I guess I'd refer to as a "Hyki" - that is, a character-by-character real-time collaborative (Hydra-like, Groove Text Tool-like) editor with automatic creation of real-time linked sub-documents when CamelCase words are typed, etc. ??

Hugh Pyle immediatly took on the challenge and built a great proof-of-concept which inspired Tim Knip for these explorations on the possibilities of Rich Flashbased tools that can easily work within as well outside the Grooveclient.

DISCLAIMER:
- The FlashHyki should never be used in a production environment (ie. where you have any Groove spaces which are important or sensitive). It may have adverse effects. There are no warranties of any kind, and there is no support. Use at your own risk.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:
- Groove 2.5 or higher
- Latest Flash

How does it work?
When you startup the FlashHyki you have to specify Account, Space and a Files Tool using the combo-boxes. On first run the HomePage and a temp-folder are created in the FilesTool you specified. Now just start typing whatever you want, the current page will be saved some seconds after you stop typing. Any words written in ‘CamelCase’ are automatically transformed into hyperlinks. After clicking such a hyperlink a new page is added to the FlashHyki and you will be redirected to this new page.
