Profile: Core Development Team, Team Leader Personal Portal

What are your areas of work in metalayer?

I am currently concentrating on View Generation and the Personal Page concept in metalayer 1.0

What do you mean by View Generation?

View Generation allows you to see content in various views. For e.g. you might want just a small image indicating a picture type content on the times page, and want the same picture to appear embedded inside the community. So even the views of content become context oriented. So this concept helps you to manipulate the view of any type of content.

Could you talk about the various features the Personal Page will offer?

The core function of the personal page is a space where you can summarize all your comty hubs all over the web, and keep a constant watch for new content and happenings. It also gives you alert functions and instant meeting calls from all over your hubs. But your personal page is also a space where you can maintain your own sections of content. You can for example get all the 'To Do' type of content from all comty hubs into one list and thus manage your deliverables. You can select certain communities and scan them for new content which you can see in your PP. Also advanced search options are available in the PP - search not just for one hub, but for all comties on all hubs you are registered. Your PP is your bird's view of your entire comty, happenings and eRelationships.

To what extent does metalayer allow personalization?

Communities are public places and can be personalized totally by comty Administrators. The Personal Portal is your private space and you can put anything there. You can inherit the design from any communities from any hub. This means that you can copy the design of any other community onto your own. The content sections and their positions are not pre-defined and you can place them anywhere you want. This is like lego-blocks. You have all the parts, and you can build any structure you want. This is the advantage of an open system like metalayer. It compliments human conversation and it's structure.
