Hello,

Anyone here? According to the archive at
http://news.gmane.org/gmane.mail.im2000/
there have been only three postings since June last year.

There's the ezmlm archive, but I don't have the high watermark; sending to
im2000-***@list.cr.yp.to just tells me (unhelpfully) that there's no
such message. And no, I don't see why I should have to do a binary chop :-)

Thanks,

Brian.

Yes, three this February. There was a slight flurry last June, and
then silence.

No need to. Just check the envelope sender on your own message to the
list. It should show as follows:

Return-Path: <im2000-return-1608-***@list.cr.yp.to>

where ... is your subscription address. So the high water mark is
1608. Or 1609 in just a few moments.

I'm not surprized.

The horse carcass is covered with sufficient boot-prints...

Maybe I shall take my whip elsewhere then...

Thanks all.

Does anyone have a partial or full implementation of im2000?

I came up with a similar idea independently, after which someone told me about
this list. I'd like to see some code, and discuss the details.

The only obstacle I see is that the existing email system is so heavily
entrenched it would probably be easier to do something totally different like
IPv6 multicast notifications.

Any interest in looking into/ discussing/ an XML solution inline with
Liberty (hard definition of identity)? While I'm as much an anti-fan of
XML as anyone out there, life is a river. [i.e. REST, not SOAPfuscation].

Daniel has established good protocols. The reader ends up having a lot
in common (almost identical to) an RSS (et al) reader.

Perhaps this list has a good group for producing a well defined problem
+ solution and a tight, clear spec.

I agree that a clean break is most interesting. Postel's world was
utterly foreign to this one. Although SMTP notifications are vaguely
plausible.

I disagree that multicast is interesting. While theory is perfect,
practice is absurd relative to a spec. Perhaps in software it's
plausible, but an alternative email system has to win as a brilliantly
simple spec, hence the strength of Postel's products. It should be
readily implemented on a cell phone, for example.

cheers
