KnowNow Does Open Source
Good lord, Joe Hewitt really is doing the weblog thing. Check out his commenting UI.
In a strange twist of events, the brass at KnowNow have given the green light to Open Source some of the early prototypes of our 2-way-web technology. The legacy code includes a notification server written in Perl (for the Apache HTTP server) and a JavaScript library (called a microserver) which takes care of the publish-and-subscribe stuff. The project is called mod_pubsub, with all of the code available at the Sourceforge project page, with the goal of melding these concepts into an full C module that turns Apache into a real-time messaging bus. Whew.
