Interesting guidelines. On a related note, I'm not sure if it's acknowledged or not, but most modern webapps use a lot of queuing. Dopplr does it heavily, for instance, and I do it increasingly in Expectnation. Obvious to somebody like you, but I wonder if it's accepted best practice yet? - Edd Dumbill via twhirl
"Of course, it now occurs to me that Laconica doesn't really need all those rewrite rules for "fancy" URLs. It really just needs one, and the rest can be done with some sort of URL routing in PHP.
Would be nice if there were an official forum somewhere, and more people in irc://irc.freenode.org/#laconica — though hanging out here works for now :)" - l.m.orchard
"Hmm - I wish I had a good way to debug this. Remote subscription on your site of a user on mine doesn't seem to work, so I haven't yet gotten to the point of messages flying around.
Of course, I'm also trying to get my rewrite rules working under Lighttpd, so I've likely got one or another that mangles or clobbers query parameters in one transaction or another." - l.m.orchard
"I think part of the Laconica story, though, is getting the software installed on commodity PHP web hosts for federation. That kinda quashes a beanstalkd installation for most of that audience. Doesn't preclude it as a later bolt-on option, though" - l.m.orchard
"All software's shitty—so, better to start off with something, rather than nothing. This one seems like it's picking up some momentum, and it's got some promising underpinnings for federation in both code and intent. If it's too shitty, it should piss you off to show 'em how it's done from scratch. If it's shitty but workable, you should pitch in and fix it.
Otherwise, it's like complaining that you can't drive a Hummer across the first lame bit of rope they throw across a canyon to start the bridge.
And, you know, if it's just *too* shitty to live, no one will make it the definitive platform of anything

"As long as you don't think about the fact that the small wisp of smoke trailing the light, is actually vaporized skin, everything will be fine." - l.m.orchard
"This page describes how to create such repositories accessible via a shared ssh account without needing to give full shell access to other people. " - l.m.orchard
"For what it's worth, I dashed off some quick notes on my own installation experience:

@subnet: I think the above may address your schema issue. There's actually more to configure than config.php, as it turns out. (eg. dataobject.ini)
I've yet to see the federation working, but I may circle back on it tonight and see if I can get it working between my own two installs." - l.m.orchard
