Hi Ed,
<< Is it event driven, for example, can it detect events that occur on the
host
machine? Can communication pipe lines be set up between hosts, so the
event occuring locally is communicated to a watching machine? >>
I believe it uses polling to keep machines in sync, and the "desktop"
functionality is currently centered around file sync'ing and client-side
function calls to the server that post data (post-funcs).
As Gabriele said, you can build anything you want on top of it, or alongside
it. We have a server proces that uses Rugby to perform certain remote
procedure calls which runs along with the IOS server.
You really have to experience it.
