Mmm, probably not. Or at least, not without the IRS giving me a gigantic fisheye.

[Angle]

So alright, I've filed the articles of incorporation. Now I need to file a bunch more paperwork in order to get nonprofit status. I'll also need to make sure we've got a license applied to our software. I'm thinking one of these, not sure which yet. That sound good?

Edit: More specifically, the GPL looks pretty good.

[Angle]

I've gone ahead and applied the GPL to the work. So there's that, now. I've also created a corporation for the project, and soon I'll be applying for 501 c (3) status.

[Angle]

It turns out 501 c 3 status has a filing fee of $400, which is more than I care to spend, so I'm going to leave that until we're looking to do some significant fundraising. For the moment, I've purchased agora-project.co and should soon be acquiring a ode certificate.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

I remember when this was just an idea thrown around here, this has come so far! This is pretty cool people, be proud!

[Angle]

So alright, it's looking like I can't get a code certificate for less than $150-$200 dollars. I could pay that, but on the other hand, I think I could probably just eliminate the applet part and rely on pure javascript, which requires no certificate. Do you guys think i should try and just skip the certificate? I found a javascript counterpart to the java library I needed the applet for, so if that works as advertised the coding should actually be relatively straightforward.

[Antsan]

I think you should go for it. That's one language less and there are companies and schools who don't install Java add-ons.

[Angle]

Alright, here we go. I'm gonna go ahead and rewrite JAgoraLib in javascript as JSAgoraLib. I tried forever ago but that attempt was trash, so I'm gonna start over. Anyone feels like helping me, go ahead and say so and we'll figure something out.

[Skyrunner]

I was going to drop by and say that it was a shame that Agora was in java, since (1) I dislike Java (2) Java is not enabled by default anymore, but huh, you decided to switch to JS it seems?

[Angle]

The server side code will still be in java, but the client should soon be entirely in Javascript.

[Skyrunner]

That is good to hear then you could run the server on assembly if you wanted, but the client definitely has to be JS in this age...

[Radio Controlled]

What exactly do you need testers for at this stage? Haven't read the entire thing yet, just curious about it after you bombed the other discussion.

[Angle]

Right now I need testers to help me debug the Javascript client, which SHOULD work, but stubbornly refuses to.

[Angle]

Alright, so I'm pretty sure I can now send data to the server. But figuring out how to read the data I get back is a pain in the ass. See, it says that it takes a "Buffer" as input. But I can't seem to figure out what kind of buffer. Can anyone else make heads or tails of this?

[Angle]

And it looks like thats the buffer class from node.js. I think I can use it in the browser, but I'll have to learn at least the basics of node.js and node browserify. AAAAAAAAAAARGH...
