[Yann Forget]

Hello,

I forward a mail from ThomasV.
This tool as a potential much beyond Wikisource.

Regards,

Yann

Firefox 4 and Chrome 6 have support for Websockets.
I wrote a websocket server that forwards Recent Changes to a web
browser, in order to visualize them dynamically.

Here is a list of pages using it:
*[http://toolserver.org/~thomasv/rcsound.html a page that plays a sound
everytime a page is proofread at the most active wikisources]
*[http://toolserver.org/~thomasv/wprc.html en.WP's recent changes] (it
scrolls kind of fast)
*[http://toolserver.org/~darkdadaah/wiktio/outils/rc/fr_wikt_rc_table.html
fr.wiktionary's RCs]
If you decide to write another page that uses this server, please add it
to the list.

It is possible to use this tool directly on any Wikimedia wiki ; here is
a script that turns the RC page of your wiki into a self-updating page:

 importScriptURI('http://wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:DynamicRC.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');

I hope you enjoy it. If you decide to write a page that uses this tool,
please add it to this list :
