Very interesting project, Ash. I've been working on a project that
shares many similar features, although we decided about a year ago to
do everything over a SIP-based platform instead of building on the work
at JXTA. Very interesting you're using XMPP for presence and messaging
-- certainly makes sense.
<br><br>Seems like our share a great deal both technologically and
ideologically. Roberto's work at YouServ certainly influenced our
thinking in terms of using browser and straight HTTP servers, and we're
also leveraging open source projects like Jetty. <br><br>I'll be sending out updates to this list shortly as well. Might be interesting to share some code in the future.
<br><br>Best of Luck!<br><br>-Adam<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 5/9/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Ash Maurya</b> <<a href="mailto:ash@wiredreach.com">ash@wiredreach.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Hi David -<br><br>This is Java app built over the WiredReach Platform (http://<br><a href="http://www.wiredreach.org">www.wiredreach.org</a>) which in turn is built over several open source<br>technologies: Eclipse, JXTA, Smack, Jena, Jetty, etc.
<br><br>Our goal really is to bring p2p like functionality to people that<br>either cannot use p2p in their networks (IT depts), or are scared of<br>it (negative press). We figured that by taking a p2pweb approach we<br>eliminate half the battle. In addition to email and webserver
<br>functionality, the central servers also provide user authentication,<br>discovery and p2pweb gateway functionality - serving effectively as a<br>central rendezvous service that can resolve a web url to one or<br>machine endpoints.
<br><br>DHT is used to connect peers already in JXTA and we additionally plan<br>on using it to locate content in the network. There is currently a<br>limitation that requires a user's machine to be online to serve up a<br>
file. We would like to treat all content as first level objects in<br>the network and allow them to be served from one or machines either<br>owned or leased by the user and/or his contacts.<br><br>Would love to hear any other feedback/questions you may have...
