So PyListC is here till everyone implements pubsub...  I think perhaps
it would be a cool idea to spilt PyListC into two parts:
  - a pure pubsub server
  - a magic interface layer that lets clients that don't understand
pubsub use the pubsub service.

That way you could use PyListC to sign up on other pubsub services
when they become available, and _that_ would be a killer usage of
PyListC!  (kinda like rss.jabber.ru does rss feeds)

In more general terms you might say: let's do MVC. Right?
(Model View Controller, see wikipedia etc.)

suddenly I remember why I wasn't planning on hosting anything on
jabberstudio. either way, do you also have a homepage? I prefer those to
project pages, anyway.

elinks which doesn't do much javascript, cause I'm not graphical atm].

I'd love to see the code and comment. I proposed a list-in-jabber
feature numerous times. Though I had, initially, a read-only style in
mind, which maps better to RSS and PubSub, maybe?

The many-to-many nature of transports maps great to mailing lists (or
vice versa). But I'm sure PubSub proponents will now flame me for all
these statements I make, I can't make hard arguments for them, and I
haven't studied PubSub properly yet!. (Waiting to be convinced by
implementations, waiting to see them in my favourite apps etc.)

> Thanks to James Burton for his great work on PyMSNt.

Yeah, and thank you for the initiative! It's cool to see his codebase
can be so generally useful :)
But I guess that's also very much thanks to Twisted itself, that it's a
whole framework etc.

It is true that functionnality is close to a MUC room but user interface is very
different so usages will be very different. It is exactly the same as IRC vs
mailing-lists : they both allow to communicate with several people all
interested in the same topic and those people do not have to know everybody to
communicate. However, if you want to be informed of the last great product of
company X, you would prefer subscribing to a mailing list rather than joining
an IRC room waiting for an annoucement. If you want to have a very interactive
chat with a group of friends you would prefer joining them on an IRC room
rather than communicate with them thanks to a mailing list.

I think those tools (MUC+PyListC or IRC+mailing-list) complement each other and
one tool was missing in the Jabber world.

The interface layer was my original idea but I started the project over to the
beginning to implement it the way it is now (component manage lists and users
by itself). I did it the way it is now because I could not get every pubsub
functionnalities I wanted in current pubsub implementations, because I
eventually made out that it was easier to make it as a standalone component and
because it gave me more freedom to implement additionnal functionnalities
without having to wait for pubsub to support them (or support them the way I
want).

However, I agree it would be an interesting step between the standalone
component stage and the direct communication between clients and pubsub stage.
It is just too early to do that right now but it is definitely a MUST HAVE if a
list diffusion JEP appears.

Quite frankly, the length doesn't bother me in the slightest.  If we  
change it, that means I get to spend my time running around catching  
and fixing all of the places in which it's published.  Everything in  
the jabber world is longish.  =)  Hell, my AIM chatrooms, on my  
server, will end up being:

chatrooms.aim.jabber.vorpalcloud.org

;D

I'm just happy that we have a real place to host it, not my personal  
server.  =)  It's already moved once, I don't want to start a trend  
of a moving target.
