Btw Vince,i just signed up to the cascade lodge BBS -curiosity got the better of me :)
GoodLuck getting back ontop of it all!
It just makes me think: *is there a page listing any well known citadel users publicly accessable citadels?*
It would be nice to see :)

while I think its a better idea to use the transport combined of http/json than doing xml foo with xmpp or the like...

has a nice discussion on the jmap subject, what concerns me is its age.
next to the unlucky name (worsening its googlability...) there doesn't seem to be a single client implementation so far?

This is of course a great idea.
This is of course useless unless it has broad client support.
So ... who is implementing clients?

I don't know of any clients either, there are two go guys working independently on a server: https://github.com/zachlatta/parcel https://github.com/robn/spillway
That's kind of the real issue here. Even an insanely great server protocol is useless if no clients implement it. At the very least it needs support for the two major mobile platforms, and some way to connect it to Outlook (megasuck as it is, technoluddites still demand it). The open source clients usually aren't an issue; if a protocol has enough traction, someone will write a connector.
Get that computer onto the Internet, get a telnet client running, and log on to text based services! I hear they're still out there :)
Wed Feb 04 2015 10:06:56 AM EST from IGnatius T Foobar @ UncensoredI can't see the point of putting a web browser on a 30 year old computer if it can only render web sites that have been specially modified to use it.

Ok, I will bite. How about I write a "converter" proxy for all the TI-99/4a browsers out there and host it myself. If it was slick enough to do an html2txt and not remove all of the TI formatting, it might be useful. I would imagine the total sum of all the bandwidth used by the proxy users would not amount to a hill of beans on a VM.
Telnet is a viable option as well (spooks aside). A Citadel client for the TI would be a good fun. There was enough traction to redo flappy bird from everything from the (ZX-81/ Atari 2600) to the TI in the recent history, so someone might just do it :-) We are not dead yet.
