====== Web Applications ======

There are a few web applications I'm interested in, and projects are available in the area. Most of these will be [[wp>AJAX|Ajax]]-based projects, possibly using the [[http://code.google.com/p/pyjamas/|PyJamas]] framework (Python tool similar to Google Web Toolkit), or directly in JavaScript/ECMAScript.

Some ideas:
  * A non-WYSIWYG editor (for code or LaTeX) with features similar to [[http://docs.google.com|Google Docs]]. This project requires the development of a PyJamas or GWT class to support more flexible rich text areas.
  * Syndication of transport service information from different companies (e.g., integrating local transportation and national railways to get a more complete travel planner in the Milan metropolitan area). A first version of this project has been developed; extensions are needed to make it complete and usable (e.g., allow the user to specify additional constraints or take into account special conditions such as interruptions on a given line or bad weather).
  * Using //web workers// to handle on the client part of the computation for the above-mentioned issues.
