Some news from #Diaspora project : http://url.jpfox.fr/0d !gnusocial !facebookfree !jehaisfacebook !planetlibre !april

@jpfox looks like a late april fools joke. Even facebook and livejournal use xmpp for chat, but a websockets based custom chat protocol?!?
-
@arc It's not a chat system, the goal is to update an other server database in real time.
-
@jpfox like xmpp pubsub, except with a custom protocol, and the websockets paragraph clearly states its for chat. Research "xmpp bosh".
-
@arc right, but why do you find using a different protocol so stupid ? http server is easiest to install than xmpp one, for lambda user
-
@arc: well, compared to websockets xmpp bosh completely sucks as method of passing events/messages between browser and webserver
-
@jpfox Its classic NIH syndrome. Plus there are hundreds of federated xmpp servers, including google and livejournal.
-
@ronnypfannschmidt if websockets was standardized xmpp would be used over it, but its far from deployable right now. Bosh is good enough.
