Hi all, I think I should introduce myself, so here are few words about myself: I live in Iasi, Romania. I participated to GSoC in 2006 and 2007 as a student and in 2008 as a mentor, all editions for ArgoUML. If you're curious about the projects here are the abstracts: http://code.google.com/soc/2006/argo/appinfo.html?csaid=71EDD44685540BEC http://code.google.com/soc/2007/argouml/appinfo.html?csaid=493141D2A136C67B http://code.google.com/soc/2008/argouml/appinfo.html?csaid=53B7320443D96853
As you found out from Niklas, this summer I will work on adding BOSH extension to Vysper. As Bernd noted that "The GSoC proposal is not public, unfortunately" in a previous discussion, I realized that not all the developers have access to the internal GSoC infrastructure - that seems to be only for GSoC mentors. So I published the full official GSoC proposal at http://sites.google.com/site/bogdanciprian/gsoc2010 For code development infrastructure I guess JIRA patches are the way to go. Right? In the proposal, initially I proposed to custom build BOSH decoders/encoders (plugged in MINA) based on AsyncWeb. But a recent discussion with Bernd and Niklas revealed to me (and I completely agree) that usage of some binary embeddable HTTP library is better. As it was discussed, I intend to try out and compare Jetty and AsyncWeb in the prototyping phase (also bonding community period). In the proposal I intend to write a demo application that integrates JWChat (based on the JSJaC library) with Vysper to show the capabilities of BOSH. There are a few problems (Niklas warned me): JWChat is distributed under GPL and JSJaC is distributed under LGPL. When I proposed this I was thinking that a third party demo application (outside of Apache), or just a tutorial on how to integrate JWChat with code snippets (not full source code) will not be a problem for JWChat GPL license. I don't have a preference for JWChat, any Javascript BOSH implementation that would help to test the BOSH functionality of Vysper would be good. Do you know of any alternative client BOSH implementation with an acceptable license? What do you think of the JWChat proposed integration - I guess will it be a waste because it's code cannot be under the Apache license? But as a third party (outside of Apache) it could exist and will help testing Vysper, what do you think?
