| December 17, 2009 | | Necessity is the mother of invention. | | One feature that Google wave is lacking is the ability to create read-only blips. Well, a new Google wave robot, cleverly (confusingly?) named “Read Onlie” offers a creative solution. As the project documentation puts it: [The readonliebot@appspot.com robot] records the original wave content. Whenever it's edited, the content is replaced with the original. Simple as that. After adding the robot to a wave, you can protect a blip by adding one of three keywords (case sensitive) to the any blip: - OWNERONLY – nobody can edit except the owner of the blip
- READONLY – nobody can edit the blip including the owner
- RESTORE – restores the parent blip data (still needs work)
Perhaps a little clunky, but until the platform supports blip-level access controls, it’s better than nothing. | | |
