* Chip Orange: I'm planning a project for GPS map-driven navigation.  It involves use of the MS MapPoint product as the source of mapping data, via it's object model.  This is not a script which makes the MapPoint UI more accessible; it completely hides MapPoint from the user and provides an alternate interface altogether. Co-developers for this project are being invited. (last confirmed by the author on 8/7/10)

* Chip Orange: I am planning a project to simulate virtual desktops (a feature of Windows 7).  they allow a user to limit the programs/windows they're currently working with, as if they wre the only ones running on the desktop.  I'd like to do this in WE simply by allowing the user to specify which windows/programs are to be included, and then have alt-tab only cycle between these only.  Will have to allow for more than one virtual desktop, and so will need to add a hotkey for switching virtual desktops, and others for adding/removing windows/programs for the currently active virtual desktop.

* Chip Orange: am interested in doing further work with the built-in windows speech recognition (vista and Windows 7), an making windows a hands-free environment integrated with WE and commands for controlling WE.  I don't plan to do this work though unless someone is in need of it (I've done enough to show it's quite possible).  (last confirmed 4/17/2011).

Describe your planned Scripting Projects

This page allows scripters to describe what they are currently working on, or plan to be working on in the immediate future. It is not a "wish-list". It's purpose is to allow interaction between scripters during the planning and development phases; both to avoid duplicated efforts, and to allow for cooperative work and a generally better product through discussion with others during the most crutial phase of any project. You are requested to post your planned projects in the list below. Please provide your name and a date which represents the last time you've reviewed your information for it's accuracy.

In order to edit the list, you simply choose the "edit" link from this page (if you have a wiki account), go to the edit box on the subsequent page, move to the bottom of it's text, and add your information beginning with a star, which will create a new list item. When you're done, locate and press the "save" button.

The List of Projects

  • Chip Orange: I'm planning a project for GPS map-driven navigation. It involves use of the MS MapPoint product as the source of mapping data, via it's object model. This is not a script which makes the MapPoint UI more accessible; it completely hides MapPoint from the user and provides an alternate interface altogether. Co-developers for this project are being invited. (last confirmed by the author on 8/7/10)
  • Chip Orange: am interested in doing further work with the built-in windows speech recognition (vista and Windows 7), an making windows a hands-free environment integrated with WE and commands for controlling WE. I don't plan to do this work though unless someone is in need of it (I've done enough to show it's quite possible). (last confirmed 4/17/2011).
