The tailored OER cut and paste logging offered by the CaPReT/ hummingbird server is a valuable tool.

However, I suggest that a logging solution based around generic analytics tools like Piwik is possible, and may be desirable for some content publishers. So, I've written a slot-in replacement for public/js/capret.js.

Since we can't (or can we) notify users when we've made changes that may require them to update the javascript code they've inserted on their sites, we should have some way of communicating when we make changes that might require them to update their code.

I see this as corresponding to releases, so folks can see this page was last updated on month dd, yyyy perhaps I should update my code. Or something else that accomplishes the same thing.

The sort of thing I mean is when I copy the title of a blog post and paste it twitter, or copy & paste someone's name in order to get the spelling right, having the extra attribution text appear is just a nuisance. Would it be possible to only add the attribution text to the clipboard contents if more than x words/chars are copied (X~10-20 words?)

When pasting text into LibreOffice 3.3.3 (Ubuntu) there is small image, or place holder for a missing image, inserted at the end of the text. Not sure what it is but the text http://cap is just visible.

Check n.hasAttributes() is defined before calling..

FWIW, I'm not sure if this is meaningful or not.

Sometimes the screen flickers after a cut.

I swore I reproduced this on Phil's site using Safari 5.0 or perhaps the same version of Chrome as Pat, but now I don't know if I can reproduce it.

(So it might have to do with other scripts running on Phil's site, or a browser plugin that I was running on the MBP I was using earlier today.)

Not on Firefox 5.0, though the page flickers, as if being re-writ.

Haven't managed to break it yet.

• Internet Explorer was not requesting the image from the Piwik server when content was copied..
• ..So, append to the document instead.

Note, this means only the 'copy' is logged, not subsequent views of the pasted content :(. Still, it's a start.
