[DotGNU]Forum update 30-3-2003

[Peter Minten]

Hi folks,

things have been quiet in the Forum project for some time due to the switch to
RDF. Today I decided not to wait for GNU.RDF (an essential component for the
Forum server) to be completed but to start work on a temporary solution: Redland
with DBM. This way the Forum server can become complete enough for basic stuff.
I will work on this.

A pending but important task is the porting of the Dillo GTK HTML browser
component to Ruby so that it can be used inside the forumclient. Some hacks need
to be done to make it work with the htmlsender forumapp, because that app uses
Jabber/RPC instead of HTTP. Anyone interested?

Another task in the client is working out the GUI and adding some Jabber client
features.

In the app section the htmlsender forumapp needs work, shouldn't be hard.

Greetings,

Peter
