Sometimes it doesn't pay off to be smart and write the best possible code. Good code can be slow and bad code can be fast.

I thought I should do something about the jabber:iq:gateway protocol that has been around for so long, but got very disappointed.

If you didn't know PEP means Personal Event Publishing (www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0163.html) and is a kind of shortcut into a PubSub (Publish and Subscribe) that has been discussed since last summer, I think. At that time Magnus Henoch made a PEP patch to ejabberd but due to various circumstances I did only preliminary tests. In addition the patch didn't had the key caps/notify feature which didn't make it useful. Just recently Magnus announced the patch on the jdev list and that jabber.se (my domain kindly supplied to the Chalmers guys) had it.

This is my first attempt to create some kind of very informal development blog that contains what has been added to cvs recently, or discusses other issues like bugs or future strategies.
