[Mod-pubsub-developer] Meeting notes

[Joyce P. <tru...@ya...>]

Hey guys,

So we had a fabulous meeting Wednesday night, mostly focused on server
improvements.  My notes are appended.  Old Mod-pubsubbers also had a chance to
meet the fresh blood, Alex and Vishy and Henry, who are pushing the effort on
behalf of Friendster.

Next Wednesday, we will be meeting again -- this time, with a focus on the
JavaScript client.  I'm sure we'll also get some updates on progress made on
the server-side.  Hope to see you there!  JP
