Mimír and more
There is a lot of discussion these days about moving news over XMPP/Jabber. For example, Bob Wyman wrote a few things in his blog and on the Atom mailinglist. Also, I found this nice graph that looks a lot like this graph. The latter one being the architecture of Mimír, that has been running for about two years now.
Nevertheless, a lot can still be done to improve Mimír. Things I am thinking about are:
Atom support
A desktop notification applet
A desktop side client
Pure Jabber interface for retrieving
missed
news, adding new feeds, etc.JEP-0060 repeaters for efficient news distribution.
Another item that was on the list is the ability to bookmark
items on your unread list
for later reading. That has
been implemented now and put in production last night. I'm curious
what my Mimír users think of this feature.
Furthermore, I've add a large number of channels again, this
time the list was from 
stpeter. Enjoy!

Jabber Council 2004-2005
The membership of the Jabber
Software Foundation has elected the JSF Board and the Jabber Council for the
2004-2005 term. Details of the vote are forthcoming, and as I was candidate
for the Jabber Council, I am happy to announce that I have been elected
into the 5th Jabber Council. This means I am going to get more involved
with the Jabber Enhancement
Proposals and Jabber protocols in general, together with pgmillard, linuxwolf, temas and stpeter. I am happy to
take on this job and want to thank the membership for their
support.
Let's get busy!
