I just released version 0.3 of Hep, my multiprotocol message server.

Hey, this looks awesome!! :-D

Obviously with all the different protocol support in Twisted, I had hoped to eventually implement something like this. It looks like Hep is quite application-level though (sending e-mail messages to a weblog, etc), so hopefully there wouldn't be too much overlap (if I could ever get around to actually implementing message-transport-abstraction stuff...).

If you've got any message-level abstractions you'd like supported at the Twisted level (or better yet, patches to unify some of the protocols' approach to messaging) I'd really like to hear about them. Thanks for letting us know about this project!

At the moment I'm still in lurk mode, trying to get a feel for the Twisted way of doing things. I have been thinking about unified messaging. One of the next steps for Hep is a unified protocol/address setup so it can transparently route messages between different systems. For example, I want Hep users to be able to send mail to "bob@aim.hep" and have the message go to the AOL IM account "bob". There are a couple of servers I'd like to use that aren't available in Twisted yet (to the best of my knowledge) - IMAP and WebDAV. Is anyone working on implementing these? If so, I'd be happy to help. -- Abe Fettig abe@fettig.net http://www.fettig.net/

IMAP is a vomit-inducing protocol.. if someone wants to start implementing an IMAP (client), the best start is probably in the offlineimap project.

The Hep web page is: http://www.fettig.net/projects/hep.

Can this be added to the "projects using twisted" page?

I've already taken the liberty. http://twistedmatrix.com/products/success -- Christopher Armstrong << radix@twistedmatrix.com >> http://twistedmatrix.com/users/radix.twistd/
