I'm happy to help if you need... i wrote the initial implementation of queues for laconica, after that Evan and others have been playing with that so it's not the same code i wrote.
Like the idea of Python. Basically what this daemon will do is maintain a 2 stacks of incoming-outgoing messages, one per Activemq one per XMPP, and fire php scripts when needed.. seems fine to me. However i love the idea of BOSH.. if i find some time i'll try that approach. 2009/10/26 Brion Vibber <br...@status.net> > On 10/25/09 6:51 PM, Federico Marani wrote: > >> I think this is a good idea.
