[xwiki-devs] [GSoC] pubsub idea as modyfication one from list.

Hi all. I would like to participate GSoC and work by XWiki. I am interested in idea "XWiki Jabber, Google Talk, Skype Integration". Main aim of described idea is to use some kind of chat rooms. Those chat rooms should be used for discuss editions and log this discussions to wiki(please correct me if I am wrong). What I propose is publish-subscribe mechanism, it is part of XMPP(Jabber/GTalk) standard. It allows to create messages categorized by nodes. When message is add, modify or delete from node there is notification sent to all subscribers (like RSS or ATOM). Main advantage of this solution is that users may use their jabber accounts for subscribe discussion or publish something in it. Here is small comparison: chat logging: * To be at home in subject someone have to read all chat log. pubsub: * You may subscribe only nodes you are interested in and ignore uninteresting. chat logging: * Chat has specific convention, there is a lot of short messages, statements are not well-thought-out, there are a lot of misunderstandings and explanations of it * After logged all chat. It may be necessary to moderate discussion. We have to create special tool for this and someone have to do the work. pubsub: * When people publish some "post" they have more time to think about it. It is possible to modify posted unclear statements. Author can even delete unnecessary own posts (in both situations all subscribers will be notify). Main disadvantage of pubsub is that it will be more difficult to port this for Skype and other closed protocols. But users can always use expected built-in XWiki pubsub client. Plese give me feedback about this idea. Jan J. Roman
