Description pour, hm, les gens normaux:
"This page shows recent edits to the English language wikipedia, right now."
Description pour, euh, les gens comme nous:
"You're looking at team Nodelay's entry into Node Knockout, a 48hr programming contest to explore node.js. We decided to transform the output of Wikipedia's IRC edit tracking bot into a tidy stream of JSON objects, annotated with information from external datasources, and then visualize that stream. So far we're using Jerk, node-websocket-server node-static and Step to help parallelize HTTP requests. We borrowed a bit of Pircbot to strip formatting information. WebSockets seem to be working in Firefox thanks to a bit of Flash glue from web-socket-js and a good old fashioned socket policy file on port 843. We also hacked in a polling/long response implementation so it all works on devices without Flash and WebSockets, namely the iPad.
We're listening to the English Wikipedia IRC server for update notifications. For each update, we request the page edit metadata using the Wikipedia APIs and load additional semantic category data from Metaweb's Freebase and try to get a rank for the 'authority' of the wikipedia entry using Google. Finally, we return an annotated JSON object to the browser using the HTML5 Web Socket APIs. The physics simulation that pushes your CPU up to 100% is powered by the fabulous Protovis."
