Rope is a public Kite registry with proxy support between kites. Also
introduces bi-directional communication between Kites.

Getting Started
---------------

Before starting make sure to call npm install and
go get github.com/koding/kite if you want to try go example.
Then to start Rope server;

``
$ npm start
`

This will start the server on 0.0.0.0:3210 which then you can run one of
the node examples (in another terminal session);

`
$ node nodes/js/rope-node.js
`

will create a Rope Node with Node.js, same file also supports browsers which
you can try it out with;

`
$ open nodes/js/index.html
`

will load the kite.js bundle and then runs the rope-node.js which will
create another Rope Node in the browser this time.

To try another Rope Node in Go this time;

`
$ go run nodes/go/rope-node.go
`

Once ready, you can start playing with nodes by calling run over
Rope Server. The best way to do that for now opening Dev Console in your
choice of Browser after loading the nodes/js/index.html. Which will connect
to Rope Server, identifies itself and will get a list of Kites registered
before which you can access from publicKites global variable. There will be
another public variable called kite which will allow you to interact with
Rope Server. And for an example of usage of run over Rope Server would
be (in Dev Console of nodes/js/index.html);

kite.ping

`
> kite.tell('run', {
kiteId: publicKites[0].id,
method: "kite.ping"
}).then(console.log.bind(console))

pong
`
will ping the first public kite which will end with a simple pong

kite.systemInfo

`
> kite.tell('run', {
kiteId: publicKites[0].id,
method: "kite.systemInfo"
}).then(console.log.bind(console))

{
diskTotal: 975902848,
diskUsage: 328007624,
homeDir: "/Users/rope",
memoryUsage: 12602589184,
state: "RUNNING",
totalMemoryLimit: 17179869184,
uname: "darwin",
}
`
will return the system info from first public kite.

kite.prompt

`
> kite.tell('run', {
kiteId: publicKites[0].id,
method: "kite.prompt",
args: ["Your Name? "]
}).then(console.log.bind(console))

# on the terminal of first public kite you will see the prompt "Your Name? "

$ go run nodes/go/rope-node.go
