Planet JabberPlanet Jabber - http://planet.jabber.org/Process One: A set of new ejabberd modules- July 3, 2008 Several interesting technical ejabberd modules have been released lately: Rest module, Atom pubsub bridge, XMPPAMQP gateway Here is a short description of this new modules: mod_rest: This module has been developed by Nolan Eakins. This is an ejabberd module that adds an HTTP handler that allows HTTP clients to literally post arbitrary message stanzas to ejabberd. The original annoucement is here. The code is now available in ejabberd-modules subversion repository. Atom Pubsub bridge: This...http://www.process-one.net/en/blogs/article/new_ejabberd_modules/ Dave Cridland: identi.ca- July 3, 2008 So I joined identi.ca last night - my, my, how trendy and with-it I am - and played a bit, and slept on it, and now I shall post my belated post on my rarely used blog. Yes, its another pointless microblogging site. What we used to call a web talker, before people forgot what a talker was. Apologies to anyone who thought these were a recent phenomenon. Further apologies to anyone who thought phenomenon was spelt m-e-m-e. Yes, it, too, has some XMPP integration. I never got on with the ones that.http://blog.dave.cridland.net/?p=56 Peter Saint-Andre: You MUSTSHOULDMAY be Joking- July 3, 2008 The folks over in IETF land recently had a nice long discussion thread about the use of RFC 2119 requirements terms like MUST, SHOULD, and MAY. Even though Ive written a few RFCs myself, I found the discussion illuminating. Here are my lessons learned: If you mean must, should, or may in their special requirements sense, capitalize them. If you dont mean must, should, or may in their special requirements sense, dont use them (instead, use words like ought, might, can, and other such...https://stpeter.im/?p=2225 Jack Moffitt: XMPP Is Better With BOSH- July 3, 2008 In order to build XMPP applications inside web browsers, the XSF created the Bidirectional-streams Over Synchronous HTTP (BOSH) specification. This document specifies the interface for a server side connection manager which holds your XMPP connections open and uses Comet to mimic a two way pipe to the browser. Having used BOSH-based clients as my primary Jabber interface for almost two years, I have come to believe that BOSH leads to more reliable clients. BOSH Hides An Unreliable...http://metajack.wordpress.com/2008/07/02/xmpp-is-better-with-bosh/ Peter Saint-Andre: SuperStandardFederatedOpenMicroBlogoSphere- July 3, 2008 So the buzz today was all about Identi.ca, a new microblogging service. What has microbloggers all a-twitter (pardon the pun) is not the fact that Evan Prodromou and his friends at Control Yourself have launched yet another microblogging silo, or even that it has built-in support for OpenID logins and XMPP notifications. No, the fun part is that Evan and company are releasing the source code to the underlying application (called Laconica) and will enable Laconica instances to federate using...https://stpeter.im/?p=2224 |
