Hola. I'm a newcomer at this list, but friends with Anders and
Blaine. I'll also be at the summit this year. I'm working on a,
still under wraps, project for Geni.com that involves heavy xmpp
development. Currently I'm working on a xmpp4r component to serve as
the gateway between our application and 'the world'. I would say my
component is acting like a glorified, load balance-able bot, but it's
a bit more than that. There's not a lot of information out there on
components in general and even less on writing components with
xmpp4r. We've made tremendous progress, however , thanks to help from
Anders and Blaine, as well as lots of trial and error. We're well on
our way towards building a general xmpp4r component framework that is
analogous to xmpp4r-simple, but for component development.
The good news is that we will be open sourcing this component
framework so that others can benefit. This will probably be the
first of a number of pieces in development that we will be open
sourcing. We realize that the xmpp community is still in its infancy
and as such, everyone, including ourselves, benefits when we all
share. That said, I'm curious if anyone else out there has had much
experience building these types of components, especially with xmpp4r,
and would like to exchange notes. I am also hoping to share some of
my design decisions to solicit some feedback.
So, anyone want to exchange war stories?
Thanks,
adam
