This is progress, we've been able to expand the acronym. Unfortunately
we still know nothing about how this works.

Question for the Google people frequenting this group: when can we
expect the ifpc.js source code to be released or documented?

I assume that there must be plans for such a release, otherwise it
would be *incredibly* dishonest to claim to have contributed to an
open source software project and yet hold back a basic required
component. If there were no such plans it might mean that the Apache
Software Foundation had been duped into incubating a proprietary
software project.

As it is, it means that Google gets to supervise all development in
this sphere, each page refresh on a developer's box causing a
footprint at Google (making it hard to work off-line). Google could
disable everybody's work instantly by simply making the URL for the
ifpc.js unavailable.

Sure there are workarounds for this last, the obfuscated script could
be saved locally, but to even attempt to assert this type of control
over an ostensibly open source software project is mind-boggling.

Question for the Apache Software Foundation (who may want to read the
rest of the thread for context): are you aware that the contribution
of Google to "shindig" rests and depends on a piece of obfuscated
javascript glue that resides only on Google's servers and is
undocumented in any way?

Incroyable.
