I have never liked timeouts, and we do not use them with our 2 daughters. Other than that, I think your post is spot on. Thanks for the excellent advice!

Thank you Matt. That is so generous. I am left speechless with gratitude.

I have ALS. My youngest daughter will most likely grow up with few memories of me alive. I find the line mildly amusing, and it makes me cringe, particularly as it is something I wouldn't wish on even an enemy. Still, it does create an opportunity to raise awareness. Thanks Seth!

Don't let the naysayers get you down. I think it's great to see you embrace Open Source. Rock on!

Thanks for the clear explanation, Matt. That's what makes the example at http://api.drupal.org/api/d... work so well...

Re: Fastest XMPP Sessions with HTTP Pre-Binding

Oh, that's right: it's something like:

-export([
start/2,
stop/1,
process/2
]).

with: function_name/#ofArguments

Thanks. Looks like it needs to be 2.1.x as well. How do you make functions public in erl? Sorry, I'm still new to that language.

Thanks!

Tried it from another server and got:

I'm trying to set up http pre-binding but am having difficulties.

Firstly, if I send

<body content="text/xml; charset=utf-8" hold="1" rid="3775588" to="xmpp.example.com" route="http://xmpp.example.com:5280/http-bind/" ver="1.6" wait="60" ack="1" xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/httpbind"/>

I receive

<iq from="xmpp.example.com" to="username@xmpp.example.com/JabberClass" id="ver_a1e51180dd61e782339b9dd11d56dad7" type="result"><query xmlns="jabber:iq:version">
<name>ejabberd</name><version>2.0.1</version><os>unix/linux 2.6.26</os></query></iq>

I'm expecting to receive a body stanza with an sid attribute. I assume that's not happening because I need to set up an HTTP pre-binding mod for ejabberd.

I'm trying to build the mod at http://github.com/thepug/Mo... but it crashes during the build:

# ./build.sh
{"init terminating in do_boot",{undef,[{make,all,[]},{init,start_it,1},{init,start_em,1}]}}

Crash dump was written to: erl_crash.dump
init terminating in do_boot ()

Any ideas of what I should do to get this working?

Thanks,
Aaron Winborn

I agree with this entirely. Thanks for making such a succinct list. Even without removing these modules, contributors continue to make strides, such as with Advanced Forum (I notice that Forum wasn't in your list), and Views 2 supporting Comments.

good to see the problems are not insurmountable. another issue (minor in most cases) is that whole 'can't see the comments w/o javascript turned on' business. i wonder though if we're able to grab comments via an api rather than js, if we could output them manually (with the extra js business still added), so that at least people would be able to see what was written w/o the js.

additionally, it's another point that comments won't be searchable from the site.

lots of work to be done, but it looks to me as though it's worth doing as well. i like disqus, now that i'm aware of it. and i think it'll have a good home in drupal.

interesting (re. the traffic piece); i see it in action, since i'm automatically subscribed to this particular thread, and went to the thread from my e-mail.

i think your solution to #5, sean, would be the icing on the cake -- the module could automatically grab comments, maybe with a cron, and store them as back-up (and a way to create views, etc). that's a bit of a chore, of course, so would be a 'would-be-nice' feature.

otoh, i'm not enabling at my blog quite yet. want to play with it some more. some other problems:

5) tied to this service, which if it goes down or you change your mind later, you lose site content
6) not sure how easy it is to retheme

Obviously the pros are pretty big, so might outweigh the cons:
1) take advantage of more social networking options
2) automatic user profiles built-in w/o configuration
3) you're well-connected to other sites using the system
4) as the system matures, maybe they'll add more/better features, such as maybe a site-rating system to block spammers
5) it raises the bar for other commenting systems

I'd like to see some brainstorming and development about how to maybe beef up the comment system (or make a new one) that's better integrated with drupal, and offers similar features.

Wow, great find! And thanks for adding support for Drupal. Embedded comments, an interesting idea.

Problems I see right now, though:
1) since it's not tied to Drupal, you lose some other good features of comments, such as comment views, tracking pages, etc.
2) it doesn't encourage local signups, which might be a down-side for subscriptions, notifications, etc.
3) would be hard to transition a site from drupal comments to disqus (what to do with old comments, etc)
4) might make it easier to spam

I've installed it at http://aaronwinborn.com/ as a test, but have to see how to better integrate it.

Thanks for the great work (as always), Rob!
