Hi All, I'm quite new to XMPP and have been trying to figure out how I can make use of it with my current project.
Thus far I've been thwarted by almost everything I thought I could do with XMPP :) Mostly I've been trying to figure out how to scale up xmpp based applications using the natural federation xmpp provides, but most of the xeps and extensions seem to assume clustering will always work. I thought I had found a nice solution for my project using "XEP-0248: PubSub Collection Nodes", but I was surprised to find that it does not appear to support collections containing remote nodes. (just to be clear, I want to create a collection somewhere, and add nodes from elsewhere to it). I'm wondering why this is? It seems exactly the kind of thing xmpp should do and it would seem to be a reasonable way to scale out nodes. It would also appear to make XEP-0253: PubSub Chaining completely redundant. Have I missed something important? Thanks, Jason.
