Static content

• Digital libraries and archives, largely online
• Blackbox 1: demo pack
• Blackbox 2: country-specific reference pack
• Blackbox 3: manuals, bootstrapping (interface, OS hacking; accessorizing)

Creative content

Viewing

• Kibbitzing
• Metadata editing : rating, other

Authoring

• Text editing
• Image editing

  Special: for photo manipulation

• Overview tools for the above (thumbnails, previews, fingerprints)

Collaboration

• Server- or shared-versioning-based text/image/media editing
• History: one app to provide history to many other apps (journal on top of the above), or patches to each authoring/viewing tool
• Metadata: trust/experience/shared-use networks

Dynamic content

Transactions: through what facility?

Unilateral

• Continuous inputs : time, location [network and geo], sensors [external and laptop-internal]
• Tools for queries at a distance: of sensors, databases, other machines, people
• Simulations

Networked

• Server-bsaed (see also 'collaborative authoring', above)
• Passive feedback (over the network; aggregation of default-shared properties)
• Asynchronous feedback
• Semi-synch feedback (chat, simultaneous editing)
• Synch feedback (tug of war, network mapping, 3D sound/photo creation, joint simulations)
