Yes, irc is notoriously inflexible. Thus my wish for Jabber. As for SIP, I don't think it's the best thing for this job... VOIP, sure, text messaging/file transfer/etc, iffy... > - using a compressive transport layer (tunneling into ssh, with > compression ?). TLS (and apparently its implementations in gnutls and openssl) support compressed transport (which makes sense, since if you don't compress before encryption, you don't compress). A good compression layer should in theory negate much of the XML overhead, at least if you keep mostly persistent connections. > My opinion is, if we really want to turn the OpenMoko platform to it's > maximum extend, we'll have to associate it with a server-side > component (running all the time, such as a WRT or NSLU2 device), a > multiprotocol IM gateway, a remote storage feature (sshfs?), an imap > webserver, a web gateway...

You mentioned a web gateway; I assume you mean a web proxy that's tunable to eg. recompress images smaller (and crappier) and such to make gprs browsing a bit faster, and stuff like that - if you didn't, I do ;) -- Mikko Rauhala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> University of Helsinki _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
