Presence and IntComm WG

["Mark P. McCahill" <>]

I've got a meeting conflict today :-( but there are a couple items that I'd like to suggest for discussion:

1.) Would listing who is running which jabber server software be useful?

I'm curious at what current practice is, and what scale people are using the various servers. At Duke we are currently running eJabberd 2.0.1

2.) Is anyone else looking at this sort of broad deployment of persistent chatrooms?

We are gearing up to offer pre-built chatrooms for each section of all the courses we offer. We are not sure how many instructors will choose to use this, but it hopefully will be a significantly larger scale that what we have been using. We've been doing some testing at the scale of 2000 users doing 4000 messages/minute with 2000 presence notifications, and our hardware seems happy. We still need to figure out a way to simulate a large number of chatrooms.

3.) Would listing who is running which sorts of web-based jabber clients be useful?

If these sorts of issue are of interest, maybe there should be some space in the wiki where people can say what they are doing and what scale they are doing it at?

I'm raising these issue partly because I'm wondering where other people are, and partly because the cookbooks for how to do things may depend on the scale at which you expect to run Jabber.

All,
We will hold a call today, and we plan to focus on PIC.edu project
development.  

With that in mind, I created a few pages on our wiki to help us
collaborate on project development:
https://wiki.internet2.edu/confluence/display/picwg/PIC.edu_development_
space
This section includes a page for drafting our cookbook and a page to
post/attach relevant research, such as other cookbooks and instructions.

I also added a bit more to the project area:
