class=890384217-13072009>One idea I had, which is kind of a merger of Shawn's 3
and 4, to some extent, is: Build a website and accompanying backend that will
parse feeds of / use APIs of twitter/facebook/Daylife/wherever and agregate
content about a specific topic. I like this one because 1) it shows Perl 6
can be used to build the kind of web apps that are popular today (no cgi!), 2)
it's not just the web app, because we'll need backend components and db layer to
store all the parsed content, 3) since we store the content instead of jsut
access live APIs, we can build a "universal" search on top that merges the
results of different sources together, and 4) it should be realtively well
suited to development by mutliple people, as someone can always just pick a new
data source and write an importer for it, or build some other feature that uses
the same data set for something. It's basically a pseudo real-time search
app. Finally, for the actual implementation of it we show off, we could
have it center on Perl 6 / Rakudo / Parrot content.

[Thousand-oaks-pm] In anticipation of Perl 6 Hackathon<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>Hey Mongers,<BR><BR>Ive pondered a few ideas for our hackathon in no
particular order such as: <BR><BR>1. An IRC bot<BR><BR>2. A chat
client<BR><BR>3. A widget that parses a twitter feed and does some smart
operations on it. <BR><BR>4. Something using the Facebook api, Flickr api,
or Daylife api. Daylife is pretty cool , it aggregates all types of blogs and
news feeds. You can grab news based on location , time , weather and other
options.<BR><BR>5. A basic multiplayer roleplaying game with a web interface or
a MUD RPG. <-- this seems to be my default way of learning a new programming
language because its just fun <BR>We could do a server and a client for this.
<BR><BR>Im open to doing whatever though really and does anyone else have any
ideas ? <BR>We could publish whatever we create and have a little catchy logo on
the web page that says "Created with Perl 6! or Created with Rakudo!" at the
bottom. <BR><BR>Best Regards<BR>Shawn<BR><BR><BR>
