I still have to use openfire though... my VPS didn't like that very
much.

My planned storage method for deltas is to just store the delta's
ProtoBuffer representation. Deltas don't change so this should be
fine. I will hopefully be able to cache some form of the wave's most
recent delta so it won't have to step through every operation on
restart.

It's not really official yet. IIRC there's no actual client/server
protocol whitepapers. Hopefully they use something better. In the
meantime, I used DRb because it's nice for prototyping - I don't have
to worry about client/server a bit, as DRb lets me interact with the
server as if it's in the same Ruby instance. Because DRb is modular, I
could also set up a server that connects to DRb and seres the FedOne
protocol. Too bad FedOne doesn't allow auth, or I would do that.
(Maybe a special wave asking you for your password before it servers
any others?)

Yes. In fact, I am in the process of pulling out my ProtoBuffer class
into a gem. Beyond that, though, there isn't too much that can be
done... maybe an OT gem.

I'm probably going to use MIT.

Thanks!
