sorry i didn't make the meeting... was travelling. (work, you know--)
just wanted to make a few comments on the discussion -
[17:54] <nb> The urgent objective is to build a webservices platform
that is copyleft and that can compete with .NET
[17:55] <theo> sorry, dotGNU is a platform being developed by GNU and
FreeDevelopers to provide web services, authentication, identity, etc...
i don't know about anyone else, but i seem to lose track between all the
"Services", "Frameworks", "Platforms" etc. maybe we should draw up a
clear set of definitions as used by dotGNU?
Also, I have been wanting to draw a diagram comparing .NET, dotGNU, all
things JAVA, and Mono. can I post it here as a PNG attachment?
[18:10] <theo> then just take the ideas you had for dotGNU, and turn
them into "modules" for this jabber auth framework.
[18:10] <theo> then let them conmpete.
[18:10] <nb> In what language are you implementing in, and what
license are you using?
so how do we let them compete? -> see next point:
[18:30] <theo> i mean registrations as in becomming a "dotgnu member".
getting an account, etc...
[18:30] <theo> and subscriptions as in signing up to get stock quotes,
or calendaring services, etc.
[18:31] <theo> both of which could be managed as the userb wants,
likely from a central "location" (like their home computer)
I must be misunderstanding - why would someone become a "dotgnu member"?
[18:31] <theo> and this will lead into jabber and dotgnu's solutions
to 'winforms'.
[18:32] <nb> What are "winforms" ?
[18:32] <theo> i think they are microsoft's "solution" to merging the
web with the desktop.... in a UI perspective.
"Windows Forms" are forms that run on windows - giving you tree controls
and the like. i.e. running on the client.
"Web Forms" on the other hand, run in a browser - limited to HTML based
form controls. i.e. running on the server.
[18:39] <theo> i will make this a regular, weekly thing.
[18:39] <theo> is Friday or Thursday best for everyone here?
make it thursday?
