I have decided for a new approach: One could use pubsubhubbub protocol (http://code.google.com/p/pubsubhubbub/) to develop a plug-in for real time streaming. This plug-in can empower Statusnet with live streaming functionalities in following manner: i) it should integrate with the core and provide essential functionalities as live stream ii) it should make it possible for plug-ins to register "streamable" content iii) it should provide a layer which extends internal privacy and authentication system in order to manage stream's privacy Since this protocol uses simple HTTP (and supports HTTPS), it can be assured that this feature can be implemented platform-independent. For regular browser based communication with the server, one could utilize Ajax long-polling to realize a live-stream communication. I would really appreciate feedback Regards Pouyan _______________________________________________ StatusNet-dev mailing list StatusNet-dev@lists.status.net http://lists.status.net/mailman/listinfo/statusnet-dev
