hello everyone,

i just want you to know about a little project i`ve been spending the
last weeks with.

With Strophe.js, a wonderfull library for XMPP over HTTP in Javascript I
hacked a Jabber client and a PubSub Client into TiddlyWiki. I was
dreaming of TiddlyWIki as a Client for a distributed, open social
Networks, using XMPP and PUBSUB. The Plugin Architecture of TiddlyWiki
could make such a project very flexible (you don't need to programm a
Calendar, use Reminderplugins, use RevisionsPlugin and so on), but on
the other hand the whole javascript thing is a big security problem. You
could also use tiddlywiki locally to sync your Social information ...

The code is badly written, because i'm not an experienced programmer and
this was my first JS project. I split the code, inserted some comments
and created a git repository:

https://github.com/ziprandom/boshPlugins

i also put the pre-Alpha thing to tiddlyspot, so you can play around
with it, and tell me, what you think of it.

http://xmppwiki.tiddlyspot.com (i don't guarantee for security)

unfortunately my plans came to a halt, as ejabberd's pubsub server is
missing some key functionalities needed for a social network, namely:
publisher verification (items posted to a pubsub node are posted
anonymously, author tags can easily be faked). and the publish-only
affiliation, allowing someone to post, but not to edit or view (INBOX)
items on a node.

i hope the buddycloud channel-server will soon improve.

yours
ziprandom.
