| Relevant question: What's the policy on servers federating, in general? To give an analogy, what good is an SMTP service, if you can only send emails to host-local users with it?
I guess what really grinds my gears here, policy-wise, is that when federation fails, it does so silently: it pretends a user was added, even though it wasn't. Imagine, in a corporate setting, you've prepared a report for Client, and waved it over to them; but due to their IT fail, it never makes it to the CTO's inbox. With email, at least a mailer daemon notifies you of such failure, so you can find next-best-alternatives (picking up the phone); however, silent failures significantly reduces the perceived reliability of the platform. -SDr On Sun, Aug 31, 2014 at 1:17 PM, Silicon Dragon <sdr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Having federation up&running (see previous email), I'm currently running > tests federating with the other 2 wave servers.... with varying results. > Specifically: > > * Federating with waveinabox.net: upon first delta, I received a failure > to validate cert info; this seems to be either due to lack of SSL, or lack > of cert caching.
