[21:14:16] * halfak arrives back in MN. 
[21:14:18] <halfak>	 I'm ALive!
[21:14:20] <halfak>	 Sort of.
[21:14:24] <halfak>	 I'm tired, so I'm only here for a bit, but I wanted to come in and wave :D
[21:14:43] <harej>	 hello aaron halfaker
[21:14:50] <halfak>	 WikiConferenceUSA went well.  I think I may have found us a few new collaborators who want to look at Spam.
[21:14:55] <halfak>	 o/ harej
[21:15:08] <harej>	 thinking more about the platforms I want to develop, the issue is that it's difficult to build things directly into wikimedia projects
[21:15:30] <halfak>	 yes.  That's is why SOA is happening whether we want it or not.
[21:15:38] <harej>	 SOA?
[21:15:44] <halfak>	 You can use gadgets (and minimal JS extensions) for integration.
[21:15:50] <halfak>	 Service Oriented Architecture.
[21:15:52] <harej>	 yes.
[21:16:03] <harej>	 I wonder who I can get to do javascript.
[21:16:11] <halfak>	 Oh yeah.  That might be tough.
[21:16:20] <halfak>	 A lot of tool devs focus on on-wiki javascript though.
[21:16:24] <harej>	 I will have a python developer; I could get him to develop a standing service on Labs and then have JavaScript to interface with it.
[21:16:27] <halfak>	 I might try posting on wikitech-l
[21:16:34] <halfak>	 harej, +1
[21:16:39] <halfak>	 I think that pattern works well.
