Great. FWIW, this is the second major iteration of this wikidoc, and was published a few weeks ago. In particular it proposes an implementation metapattern called a 'gossip network' - chosen to suggest communication rather than just content publishing, which is also admissible. Another example of a metapattern would be AJAX - it's a set of patterns for implementation with a family resemblance. Gossip is a family of microblogging metapatterns. Though still rough and ready, the wikidoc also tries to explain: - why we are using RabbitMQ for our implementation (and we are using ejabberd too) - why AMQP is not tightly bound to the design, eg an XMPP PEP server would be good too - why it is not just about PEP - there are many ways to federate, and the notion of a bot is important - some of the things that Rabbiter might do as an example implementation alexis > > - Sylvain > > >> Sylvain, >> >> Maybe this helps? https://dev.rabbitmq.com/wiki/RabbiterFederation >> >> alexis >> >> >> On Thu, Sep 11, 2008 at 1:06 PM, Sylvain Hellegouarch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> wrote: >>> >>>>> Actually I don't quite understand what rabbiter is/what it does/how to >>>>> use it.
