A few things have happened recently.

You may have seen www.brianreynolds.biz and some of the linked pages. Quite a bit has been added to the Voicechat page including an outline of the opportunity to participate now.

I have collected together various design notes into a draft Verbol page which I am in process of editing. The notes were written separately as thoughts occurred to me and I have done some initial editing so they are loosely grouped and have a contents list for navigation so they are OK for briefing and talking over the ideas. I am thinking about implementing Verbol in Javascript and would like to bounce some ideas around with a Javascript expert.

A COOPYtunities page has been started, linked to from Invitation which introduces COOPY and some opportunities to cooperate. Some rationalisation with the other pages is needed, but it should give an idea.

I added more songs to uplay2 and created four song pages in a format I am putting forward for feedback. These include Youtube videos of performances with the uplay2 prompts embedded in lyrics displayed as subtitles. I have been told these are more fun to play along to than games as you are making music with a real instrument. These are in effect a prototype of the Family Systems play-along invention and I am looking for cooperation in implementing it further.

Patent news is at the foot of this page Family Systems Patent Filings.
Following the first play-along U.S. Patent 7423214 which was issued in Sept 2008, we have filed two further Playalong continuation patent applications one of which covers the prototype used in Uplay2. We are also working on a response to the examiner's recent rejection of the first Web Collaboration patent filing which he has based on a combination of two separate prior inventions.
