Hello,
I want to run an online service that allows users to organize their
writings in a heirarchical manner and share them online - allowing for
commenting, etc.
The difference between this and a traditional weblog service is that in
this case, users can organize their writings in any way they wish, be in
by subject or chronological.
This isn't a webpage, but rather a service with a downloadable client
and server running off somewhere which acts as the main data repository.
I've written most of the client/UI in C++/wxWidgets, and am now trying
to figure out what kind of networking architecture I want to use.
I figured that I could write a proprietary protocol or use an existing one.
I was looking for libraries that would make it easy for me to
communicate between client and server. I stumbled across Jabber this way.
Is Jabber extensible enough to allow this? Would I write a custom Jabber
server or write a component to provide these services? Would I save a
bunch of trouble just using a custom ad-hoc protocol?
Can anyone suggest a C++ library that would aid me in this? I'm not sure
if I want to release source for this, so a BSD-type license would be
preferable.
