Implementing Slingshot

Posted by Linda Derezinski Fri, 20 Apr 2007 14:41:00 GMT

Monday I spoke with David Young and Scott Burton from Joyent on what it will take to add Slingshot to the GeoBliki codebase. The first thing as I suspected is that we have to have GeoBliki up and running with the current version of Rails. Currently we are using Rails 1.1.6. I had started a Rails 2.0 workspace a couple of months back and will need to finish getting that up and running before trying Slingshot.

Slingshot Early Adopters program

GeoBliki is involved in the Joyent Slingshot Early adopter program.

Paraphrasing from the Joyent announcement: Slingshot enables GeoBliki to work the same on and off(with synchronization) the internet. You will be able to drag and drop file into/out of Geobliki. Slingshot currently works with Windows and Macintosh OS X platforms.

Some technical information on Slingshot is available here

Stay tuned in the coming weeks for updates on our integration progress.
