摘要

协作技术的最新进展表明，无需修改单用户应用程序的源代码，就可以将现有的单用户应用程序转换为实时协作应用程序。这种转换依赖于单用户应用程序提供的API(应用程序编程接口)。设计糟糕的api使这种转换变得困难、低效，甚至不可能。到目前为止，还没有很好地理解api应该提供哪些特性来促进单用户应用程序向协作应用程序的转换。本文提出了单用户应用程序api应该提供的功能建议，以促进转换。结果是基于我们从将Microsoft Visio转换为实时协作Visio (CoVisio)中学到的知识，以及我们之前构建CoWord和coppowerpoint的经验。

API design recommendations for facilitating conversion of single-user applications into collaborative applications

Recent advancements in collaboration technology have shown that it is possible to convert existing single-user applications into real-time collaborative applications without modifying the source codes of the single-user applications. Such conversion relies on the API (Application Programming Interface) provided by the single-user applications. Poorly designed APIs make such conversion difficult, inefficient, or even impossible. Until now, it is not well understood what features APIs should provide to facilitate conversion of single-user applications into collaborative applications. This paper presents recommendations of the features single-user application APIs should provide to facilitate conversion. The results are based on what we have learnt from converting Microsoft Visio, into real-time collaborative Visio (CoVisio), and our previous experience in building CoWord and CoPowerPoint.
