Call for generic pub/sub ideas The following was posted by [EMAIL PROTECTED] via the Jabber DevZone web site (http://dev.jabber.org/):
Jabber is being used in ways we've never expected, and continually being built into new applications and environments. Many of these uses share common traits with each other and can be accelerated by using a shared format for the XML they are exchanging over Jabber. One of those shared demands is for a generic publish-and-subscribe mechanism that can work easily with any of the data in the network of applications and services, not just between IM clients and users. Jabber already handles this for specific things like user presence, groupchat, and has some experimental drafts like browsing and the new conferencing, but there isn't a common generic framework that can be shared by all these applications. The list [EMAIL PROTECTED] has been created for disucssion around the creation of a JIG (and eventually one or more JEPs). At this point we need to have all of the existing methods and any ideas or proposals be put forth on the list. In a week or two there will be a meeting to discuss the current state of things, draw up the formal plans to have the JIG created, and get some ideas of what direction to head in. http://jabber.org/?oid=2143 _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
