Hello all, I've been away for a while. Got caught up in some things at my (now former) job that diverted all my time away from the projects that I had going using Avalon. I've started a new job, am planning to open up my own small business and am hoping to get more time to work on my own projects.
One thing I was just starting to research when I got diverted was SEDA. I was very impressed with it and now that I'm going back over and reading more of the papers on it I realize just how cool it really is. I remembered much talk about using SEDA as a basis for event type stuff in Avalon. I see the Excalibur Event package and it is a good basis. Unfortunately, it looks like development on implementing the complete architecture in Silk has stalled or stopped all together. The last mention of it I find on the mailing list is from nearly a year ago. So, I guess my question(s) are: Does anyone plan on resuming work on Silk or has anyone privately been working on it? Has anyone even given it any more thought and maybe would be willing to offer input if someone were to start working with it again. I've seen some thoughts flying around lately about a simple HTTP server for Avalon and this would be a great place to use the SEDA/Silk architecture since Matt Welsh describes implements an HTTP server as a use case for SEDA. I also know that there is a project on sourceforge called ldapd that is using phoenix to provide a framework and is using SEDA for the internal processing. I'm not sure if they were using the SEDA libs from Matt Welshes site or not, but it is another place where an Avalonized version of SEDA could be cool. Alas, it looks like development on that has stalled as its activity percentile has been at 0% for a couple of weeks. It's too bad too cause an ldap server was another thing I was thinking of starting on before I was torn away from this stuff. Anyways, if anyone has any thoughts/code/whatever on the status of SEDA and Silk let me know. I'm still going through some of the documents but everything seems pretty straight forward. The most complicated part seems in the monitoring and managing of resources for the stages.
