Diaspora ported to use buddycloud channels and XMPP

This needs some frontend polishing for the script timeouts and stuff, but using XMPP for federation is definitely the right way IMO. Or, at the very least, much better than just making up protocols on the way, as Diaspora did. Federation and message routing have been solved…

The announcement on the mailing list has some more narrative: <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/buddycloud-dev/browse_thread/thread/ee4fae4a143e38ea" rel="nofollow">http://groups.google.com/group/buddycloud-dev/browse_thread/...</a>

keep in mind that this is still early code. pretty much like diaspora. But it's awesome that you start with your xmpp friendlist right away!

XMPP seems like a very bad choice unless you <i>need</i> it for interoperability with other systems.

Good for BuddyCloud, but doesn't OneSocialWeb have an XMPP protocol already? Is BuddyCloud the same thing?

It still appears to be very buggy. Many non responsive scripts

awesome!
