Kamaelia Publish Open Issues

This page is intended to be a big "todo" list for Kamaelia Publish.  It may or may not a lot of items that I would like to get done but may not have time for.  So this page shouldn't be construed as being a part of my GSoC work (but some of it will be).

Bugs

The software still needs much more testing, so this really only represents a list of known bugs:

• When the gateway logs in, sometimes it receives messages indicating which users are online, sometimes it doesn't.  The gateway should check a user's online status with the server before assuming they are offline.
  

Enhancements

Make static content able to be served.

• Static content is now served by the gateway.  The peer is capable of serving such files, but such would be REALLY slow and somewhat more complicated.
  

Add the capability to look up registered and possibly logged in users in a database.

• Partially completed:  Registered users and whether they are logged in or not can be stored in a SQLite database.
• sub-issue:  Get the gateway able to use more different kinds of databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.
• sub-issue:  Having to look up whether or not a user is online EVERY time will probably affect performance.  Some kind of caching system should be in place.
  

Add the capability to send data between the Gateway and serving peer directly.  This can be done by either doing an XMPP file transfer or possibly bypassing XMPP altogether.

Look into getting the Peer to work on Python 2.2.  Being able to run a webserver on Symbian would be Pretty Damn Cool (tm).

• This is definitely a "would be nifty" idea.  I have no idea if this is even feasible or how much work would be involved in this.
