Opera Software ASA

Yes. Opera Unite is based on common Web technologies, such as HTML and JavaScript. When building Opera Unite, we sought to use documented open Web standards wherever possible. This ensures that Opera Unite applications can easily be created using the techniques Web developers use every day. In addition, during the development of the technology, we have made various key parts available for standardization. One example is the file I/O object, which Opera published and submitted to W3C. W3C is now in the process of starting a group that would standardize it, and it has already been taken up by BONDI and similar efforts.

The Opera Unite server is located in your Opera browser on your computer as part of Opera Unite. A proxy server is used when no direct connection is established, and this proxy server is currently located in Norway. No data is stored on any Opera-owned servers.

A lot of work has gone into making Opera Unite easy and simple enough for anyone to use, not only for installing and setting up applications, but also for creating an easy way for people to interact. Although some operating systems have included Web servers for a long time, the complexity involved in setting these up and using them has meant that they were only used by technically-experienced developers; not the average Web user. Opera Unite is aimed at a wider target audience and offers the ability to share data directly from a computer to everyone by offering a browser feature that is enabled with a simple login and that is easy and quick to use, without any complex configuration or set up.

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications rely on all users of a given application sharing the data to all other users. An example of this is the BitTorrent client built into Opera. While you download something on BitTorrent, you also make it available for others, sharing the overall load among everyone who wants to download that content.

Oper Unite ist ein Standardwebserver. Menschen greifen auf Anwendungen oder Inhalte auf Ihrem Opera Unite Server zu, teilen sich mit, sehen sich etwas an oder laden sich Inhalte herunter direkt von Ihrem PC, ohne es an andere zu verteilen. Während Opera Unite sein Hauptaugenmerk auf den direkten Datenaustausch mit anderen Usern legt, bewegt sich dezentralisiertes Hosting innerhalb der Möglichkeiten, die Entwickler mit Anwendungen von Opera Unite haben.

Opera Unite applications extend the capabilities of the browser to share content or collaborate. Applications range from social-networking tools for posting messages or holding chat sessions to tools for sharing content like files or photos. For more information, see the Opera Unite user guide.

Anwendungen für Opera Unite wurden unter Verwendung von Standardwebtechnologien erstellt wie HTML , CSS, JavaScript, SVG und AJAX.

Hinweis: einige neue APIs sind noch sehr experimentell und müssen noch standardisiert werden. Bitte beachten Sie, dass einige APIs sich noch ändern können, wenn die notwendigen Spezifikationen und Implementierungen fertig entwickelt werden.

Um Anwendungen für Opera Unite zu entwickeln, benötigen Sie einige Kenntnis gebräuchlicher Webtechnologien wie etwa HTML, CSS und JavaScript. Alle Anwendungen, die für die Veröffentlichung unter unite.opera.com vorgesehen sind, werden zunächst von Opera Software auf Fehler sowie auf ihre Übereinstimmung mit den Geschäftsbedingungen überprüft. Für weitere Informationen hierzu lesen Sie die Artikel zu Opera Unite, die File I/O API Spezifikation und die Unite API Spezifikation auf dev.opera.com.

Publishing your Opera Unite application on unite.opera.com shares it with many users around the world quickly and easily. These users can provide you with feedback and bug reports to help you make it even better.

All applications need to be reviewed by Opera Software to check for errors and to ensure that they comply with the publishing terms and conditions. This ensures that our users have an enjoyable and safe online experience. We do not take responsibility for the content of the applications or make any guarantees about the functionality. See our disclaimer. You are free to offer applications for download from your own site; however, as this avoids our approval process, we will not be able to review the applications to ensure that the they will work correctly.

You will have received a message stating what terms or conditions the application breaks or other issues encountered. Fix these issues, submit the application for publication again, and we will review it. See the terms and conditions on the Publish page.

No. The Opera Unite catalog at unite.opera.com is currently a free resource. Users can download and install applications from here completely free of charge. You could potentially charge for applications that you create and distribute yourself.

When you publish your application, we unpack it and test its contents before repacking it and putting it on the server. This may lead to some differences in compression and file size. Additionally, if you change the application information in the Configure step, this information is put back into your ZIP file. Finally, Opera Software reserves the right to update or correct the description fields at any time.

See the terms and conditions on the Publish page. Please be aware that these terms and conditions apply to publishing applications only. For information about terms of service for end users, see the Terms and Conditions on My Opera.

When a bug is reported for your application, it is shown in a link marked "Assigned issues" when you are logged in to unite.opera.com. As the author, you are responsible for fixing any bugs. Opera Software does not fix bugs in applications published by external parties.

No. Once a application is published, you cannot delete it from the site. Once people start using an application in Opera Unite, we prefer not to interrupt it. If there is an error or problem with it, Opera Software may remove it.

The Opera account is needed to provide you with a simple link using our DNS server. Opera Unite was designed to offer a simple and easy way for people to share data and collaborate online. In line with this, we have provided a simple and quick way to create a domain name. If you prefer to change the configuration to use your own custom domain name, refer to our article "Setting up custom domains for Opera Unite" on dev.opera.com. The Opera account also enables social-networking support from the My Opera community.

When you start using Opera Unite, we generate a URL for you at our Domain Name Server (DNS). This adheres to the following format: http://[device name].[user name].operaunite.com.

Alternativ können Sie selbstverständlich auch Ihren eigenen DNS-Server oder Ihre statische IP-Adresse verwenden. Um mehr darüber zu erfahren, lesen Sie bitte unseren ausführlichen Artikel "Eigene Domains für Opera Unite erstellen" auf dev.opera.com.

Nein. Anwendungen für Opera Unite können JavaScript als serverseitiges Anpassungswerkzeug nutzen. Opera Unite ist nicht entstanden, um professionelle Webserver zu ersetzen, aber dazu, es Menschen, die nicht über das technische Wissen verfügen, wie man einen Server bedient oder in PHP programmiert, zu ermöglichen, Daten auszutauschen und miteinander zu kommunizieren.
