Sketch exploring how simple BASH (or command-line) scripts could be used as media plugins in an ActiveArchives system. A key issue is how to balance a graphical / “end-use”-oriented interface with the flexibility of text-based scripts.

From the archives, found in the Piet Zwart recycling bin… Author (and annotator) unknown…

A relative value system implemented in javascript

This proof of concept is based on a couple of starting points:

1. Implement a “contour” like frontend for Active Archives
2. Further learn JQuery, in particular, writing with and as a “plugin”
3. Get more into the whole old/new functional-programming style of Javascript
