This week I was free so I started a little wave project. To who don't know what is wave it is a new tool for communication and collaboration on the web. It is initiative from Google and will be available for public later this year. To learn more about wave go to this link.
Google wave is still in developer preview stage which have lots of bugs :-( You can get a invite from this link.
To whom who have google wave accounts my address is tharidu@wavesandbox.com
So let's start,
Google wave allows developers to use and enhance it through the APIs available. They are Robots, Gadgets and Embed. Well I developed a small functioning robot called "sinhaly" which enables user to use English-Sinhala transliteration easily. So if you type mama it will convert it to මම. It runs in the cloud and to use it you will have to add sinhaly ( sinhaly@appspot.com ) as a participant.
Sinhaly was written in python a
nd uses unicode standard to render Sinhala fonts. The algorithm was derived from UCSC Language Technology Research Laborotary's Real Time Unicode Converter.
Sinhaly in action :-)
