Hi Guys,

I'd really like to see progress in codetube and I'm wondering if the
project is dead. I tried to set it up locally (in order to contribute
some pieces), but got stuck probably because of dependencies on old
packages. Are you planning to port it to node 0.6 or do you have any
idea how complicated that would be?

Cheers,

Jupp

I'm very sorry to hear that, but luckily i can say it's not true.
At the moment we are yielding for a federation protocol to come.

The thing is, we can't add the federation feature (which includes user
management as well), because their is no protocol around that's
fitting our requirements and is ready to use. OStatus is just for post
like content, but we need to share project metadata between instances
and that just doesn't fit at all.
That's why i joined buddycloud to work on a better way to implement a
federation (on top of xmpp).

I'll write a blog post about all the details as soon as i find some
rare spare time (sorry, preparing my fosdem talk has priority :P).

You can use https://github.com/creationix/nvm (nodejs version manager)
Running `nvm install v0.4.12` will get your the last version it was
developed on.
Maybe you want to pin down all the dependencies, because i'm afraid
they are to this time all out of date (just remove the ">=" from the
versions in the package.json).

Of course. I have gathered tons of new features i want to add.
For example running backbone on server and client side or using my
dynamic template engine, to name just two important ones.

I already have a small project where i tried to implement the server
architecture in that way, but more an that later.

I hope you guys can wait a little bit longer for codetube.
These are busy times.
