Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Jabber and Cronjob Modules Available

Posted by David Kuczek on
I would really like to see your Jabber module as the Chat/IM implementation for OpenACS.

Maybe you could explain the pros/cons of your module versus the Java Jabber-client...

( http://jabberapplet.sourceforge.net/ )

To make your solution run you would have to:
1. Install the Jabber-Server
2. Install your module
3. Write a display (tcl maybe)

Do you plan on writing a display?

You were talking about scalability:

"I suppose the display could be an auto refresh type deal, but it still seems kind of expensive for large scale use"

Exactly how scalable do thing your module with the auto refresh would be?

What could be done to make it more scalable?

Thanks
