In any case, I wonder if making current wiab *way* more easily federable would in practice equate to a p2p version of wiab. I.e. modify WiaB so that, in the future, any luser can "aptitude install wiab" and have a federated server+client of wave, that can connect to other servers without any further configuration (or extremely little configuration at least; think BittorrentSync levels of usability, for example). Is it technically possible to make wiab work like a P2P network, or are federation/OT/... protocols simply not able to scale like that?
That's certainly been my line of thinking - aiming for a solution that is easy to deploy and configure, and federates by default. Maybe we can script generating the certificates, bundle an xmpp server by default, and improve the out-of-the-box configuration such that whatever functionality we currently support is easily available.
Towards that goal, I've been playing with Apache Vysper - a small java embedded xmpp server built on top of MINA. It doesn't look too hard to integrate, but I'm not sure their server-to-server support is all that solid at the moment, so it might not go anywhere.
