Marshmallow by Larry Gadea ([email protected], twitter.com/lg)

An OpenSource Campfire(TM, i think?) server.

DESCRIPTION

You might have heard of Campfire by 37signals. This is an implementation of their backend in C. This server is written using libevent and all that goodness. Benchmarked at 10000req/s on a macbook -- serving beautiful static content!

Also, yes, I realize that a large part of this project is client-side. I'll get .. something .. done for that. Meanwhile, you're stuck with templates swiped from 37signals. I'm trying to keep the swiping to a minimum tho, just so that Propane can parse it.

CURRENT STATUS

You get a room listing of rooms you can join but can only talk to yourself in.

QUICK START

• Make sure you have the libevent libs installed from http://www.monkey.org/~provos/libevent/
• To build, use: make
• To run, use: sudo ./marshmallow. Sudo is needed to bind on port 80
• To prepare, add 127.0.0.1 marshmallow.campfirenow.com to your /etc/hosts file
• To use, install and open Propane and add marshmallow.campfirenow.com to it
