You raised a good point in terms of using jabber for distributed computing. That is what I have been trying to do with Jabber. The beauty of Jabber is aimed at cross platform portability. I am trying to implement a functionality with jabber to transmit XML stanzas between different processes in the same or different PCs. Each process are acting as jabber client, and the jabber servers acting as a XML hub to coordinate between these clients.

I think Jabber website has very poor resources for client-side developers. I understand that there is no need for another chat client, but what about people that want to use Jabber for distributed computing? I think Jabber is really a great platform for cluster computing. Some details like connection, disconnection, fault-tolerance, logging are all built-in. I mean, Jabber has a huge potential as a developer's tool, yet you can't tell it from the website. Just as a standardized log monitoring utility, its value is already unbelievable. I think Jabber's focus is misplaced: it tries only to portray itself as public chat utility for general audience, forgetting that itself is a good developer's tool: like XML-RPC, Zope, etc. The website really ought to separate the general-consumer part from the developer part, and maybe have some topic guides, or even some Wiki for developers. There is no tutorial and sample usage of the protocol on the website, at all. The RFC-style protocol description is just not good for someone that is beginning. Could someone point out some resources to me? Some websites? I would like to use Jabber from C++/C# and Python. I have been able to send simple messages from Python, but I'd like to know things like how to open a chatroom, join a chatroom, etc. And other features like how to send/receive files. If someone knows where to get started with C++/C#, that would be great, too. (I know, I may just have to buy the book. But this is unusual, for other software utilities, I usually have been able to try out first, get some familiarity, and then decide whether I need a book.) regards, Hung Jung __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
