Name: Probably "Constellation". (And another potential name is "Ubiquity". Though, "Constellation" fits my cosmos naming theme.) Right now the "working name" is after Khronos, the personification of time (also seen as a god).

Scope

This project is meant to be a wearable computing notification manager for webOS and open webOS. The first pass will be for Pebble support. Then MetaWatch support. Followed by others. The project will provide three components:

  1. An application to provide a configuration UI. This will reside with the system settings.
  2. A service to provide a communication interface between external components on the device and the wearable computers.
  3. Individual plugins to provide as a connector between the service and the wearables. This will implement a standard API, and register itself with the service on install, and unregister on uninstall.

Ultimately, the plugins can help to transport notifications and data to other services that handle notifications. For instance, a plugin could be written to push webOS notifications through Growl. I expect that this system may be adopted into the webOS-Ports version of open webOS, though this will need to be proposed at a later date.
