Interfaces
Backtalk can support multiple interfaces to the same conferences, called
``flavors''. The flavors installed at this site are:
- Abalone
The abalone flavor provides a good-looking interface, but it may be slower
than pistachio. It uses pulldown command menus and occasional pop-up prompt
boxes. Note: Your browser does not appear to be fully capable of handling abalone. - Pistachio
The pistachio interface offers a full range of features with a
rather plain push-button based interface. It will perform well on
almost any browser. Note: Your browser does not appear to be fully capable of handling pistachio. - Bubblegum
The bubblegum interface is a simplified kid-oriented interface originally
developed for the Booktalk system. It will work on most modern browsers. Note: Your browser does not appear to be fully capable of handling bubblegum. - Vanilla
The vanilla interface is text-oriented, with very verbose command options.
It is missing many features, but will work with most any browser,
including non-graphical browsers. - Papaya
The Papaya interface offers a familiar environment to users accustomed to
Web Yapp. Note: Your browser does not appear to be fully capable of handling papaya.
