[Mod-pubsub-developer] PUG meeting on Tuesday, Feb 25. Also, a few more cvs check-ins tonight.

[Adam R. <Ad...@Kn...>]

We want to start a pattern of Pubsub User Group (PUG) meetings the last =
Tuesday of every month.  Unfortunately, this Tuesday I have an event I =
need to attend from 5pm-8pm at Blue Chalk Cafe in downtown Palo Alto.  =
How do you folks feel about an 8pm-10pm PUG meeting somewhere in =
downtown Palo Alto on Tuesday?  I'm thinking the Left-at-Albuquerue in =
honor of our New Mexican PUGgers... Thoughts?


Also, a couple of cvs check-ins tonight:

   1. Moved wakeup.py into the python_pubsub directory, so it can be =
used by apps that use pubsublib.py .
   2. Removed python_pubsub helper libraries from the kn_apps/sitewatch =
directory, and fixed sitewatch to use python_pubsub.

If you're using pubsub.cgi, you will need to update to the latest =
version that fixes a longstanding bug, if you want to use the =
just-checked-in pubsublib.py client.  A good reason to do a "cvs update =
-Pd" on your checkout.  I'll make a new tarball for download soon, but =
first I want to put in an index.html at the top level.  (There are also =
several cxx_pubsub changes that need to be committed when we get a round =
tuit.)

Top to-do-list of issues with pubsublib.py client library and pubsub.py =
server library:

   1. pubsublib.py test suite based on the JavaScript PubSub Library =
test suite.
   2. ping.py sample app.
   3. chat.py sample app.
  *4. Modify pubsub.py to have off-host routes, using pubsublib.py's =
HTTPUserAgent.
  *5. kn_content_transform (related to off-host routes).
  *6. SSL support in pubsub.py and pubsublib.py.
  *7. Username/password authentication in pubsub.py and pubsublib.py.
   8. cleaner.py to remove expired events from a pubsub server =
(pubsub.py or pubsub.cgi).
   9. bridge.py to form server federations.
  10. Merge pubsub.py and pubsublib.py to create a prototype "munchkin =
clerver".  (A clever munchkin??)

Starred items are ones needed for "feature completeness" of the Python =
PubSub client and server... items 9 and 10 really excite me but I have =
to eat my broccoli first...
