[Mod-pubsub-developer] New web server, new start

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

Hi guys,

So I am very happy to announce that we have moved mod-pubsub.org over to a new
server that is being hosted by the extremely generous CommerceNet.  Our blog is
back up, so if it fell off your RSS reader recently you might have to
resubscribe.  The new twisted_pubsub server is available on port 9000, or at
/kn, and the new repubsub JS client is being vended by the normal means.  We
have an initial test app up at:

http://mod-pubsub.org:9000/tests/rss_scroller.html?debug=false

The deal is that, as discussed at the previous couple of mod-pubsub meetings,
the mainline of development will be taking a fork in the road.  Therefore we
will kind of be starting fresh -- and in particular, mod-pubsub.org will no
longer be hosting all the old code in the distribution.  We will no longer be
100% compatible with the KnowNow API, and in particular our new JavaScript
client would require changes to all the old CGI apps... so this seems like a
good time to make a clean break.  If someone wants to keep developing the
mod-perl server and its apps, they're welcome to do so of course.

As part of the move, we are considering moving away from Sourceforge, and
instead running things off our own Subversion installation.  Packages would be
distributed on mod-pubsub.org instead of through SF.  If anyone has strong
feelings against Subversion, now would be a good time to mention them.

Hope everyone is as excited as I am about the performance and (hopefully)
scalability of the new package!  JP
