We like it since it's one of the things on which we are thinking about ;) There are two main things that should be done in such a project - define a client API for pubsub, e.g. as a developer I don't want to manually create a topic on pubsub and configure it with dataforms, I want to to it with just one function call. JMS API could be a model for a start, though I think the API should be a bit wider since our pubsub model is more complex; the GSoC project could concentrate on just replicating the JMS functionalities on pubsub - define naming of topics: with jms I can only subscribe to topics of the server I'm connected to, while on XMPP you can subscribe to any pubsub service -- Fabio Forno, Ph.D. Bluendo srl http://www.bluendo.com jabber id: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
