As far as I can tell, the existing project named Tinder provides an API (to a product called BaseCamp, providing webbased chat), but isn’t an XMPP implementation. It can be combined with an XMPP implementation though, which is where the Google hits are based on.
I don’t think naming our project Tinder would cause mentionable confusion. As most of us seem to agree that this name has the best ring to it, I’d like to go with Tinder.
Chris, could you have a SVN repository created by that name please? Anonymous wizards in the order of JIRA (whoever you are), can a JIRA project be created as well please?
Guenther, I’m glad that someone claims usefulness, even before we announced the project. Your use-case is what I had in mind, when proposing the project. I’ve ran into something similar before - I bet others have similar problems.
If someone finds more useful packages that should move from Openfire (or Whack - not everything there might necessarily be external component related) let me know.
I’m writing a short roadmap and project definition, which I’ll share them later this weekend.
Can we go with TINDER, instead of a two-letter abbrevation? The full name is quite short in itself, and wouldn’t mess up any URLs that it’d be included in.
I attempted to add everyone on this thread to the ‘tinder’ group which has RW access (Guus, Daniel, etc), but couldn’t easily locate svn accounts for wroot, Daryl, slushpupie or Guenther. Do you guys have svn accounts? If not, I can create them.
Chris, i’m not a coder, so probably i dont need svn rw access. It’s enough i can easily mess up my local Openfire source copy
slushpupie already has an account i believe, maybe under other name, like Jay.
I believe you can create an account for Daryl, as he’s doing some patching. Though i’m not sure about the Tinder, he usually patches Openfire.
And Guenther should get a mentor first and pass his trial period. Though, i would give him svn access right away, if everyone agrees. We need good and commited coders badly here
I’ve added the sources for Tinder in the new repository (TINDER-5) and replaced code in Openfire with a jar generated by Tinder (OF-1). I’d like to do the same for Whack, but I’m not able to create a JIRA issue for Whack.
I’d love some feedback on the new project. Guenther, would something like this suit your needs? Any suggestions for improvements?
