I am very proud to announce the Jabber File System !!!!
It is as simple as that : mounting your roster on a file system
!!!! Check it out in
http://www.lsc.ic.unicamp.br/~samuel.goto/jabberfs/jabberfs.html
You can now mount you roster in a file system, like
mount -t jabberfs /mnt/jabberfs
View you contact list with
ls /mnt/jabberfs
Send messages, receive messages, transfer files, etc !!!
Well, it is just wonderfull !!! Take a look at the URL to
understant better what I am talking about !! It is a real file system
!!!
Don't ask me how usefull this is, because I didn't make it to be
usefull, but cool !!! hehe !!! Well, perhaps, it could offer clients a
manner to acess a jabber network WITHOUT the need of libraries written
in the same language, or they don't need libraries at all !!! Just a
simple IO lib for opening unix/linux files, and you are done !!!
Imagine clients being written as
fd = fopen("/mnt/jabberfs/samuelgoto.jabber.org/messages","r");
fscanf(fd,"%s",message);
fclose(fd);
And remember : they don't have to be written in C !!! hehe !!!
Well, I will wait now your answers and comments, please, give me
any feedback ,
cya, mel
PS Peter, SOC was a great thing in my life as you probably
noticed !! ehheh !!!
