14:52 < Robot101> I filed one (the @recent@ group) in the ejabberd tracker, but Mickael Remond totally shot it down

14:52 -!- luisca [n=luisca@138.100.31.237] has quit ["Leaving"]
14:52 -!- cozy-me [n=javier@adsl-71-156-104-53.dsl.pltn13.sbcglobal.net] has quit ["Leaving"]
14:52 < Robot101> well, his reason is fair, ejabberd had been failing for us because we had 8000-long shared rosters
14:53 < Robot101> the @recent@ thing was just a hack so we only saw 2000 of those people
14:53 < Robot101> @online@ is another hack so we only saw 150
14:53 < Robot101> it's not something you'd normally want to do in deployment
14:53 < Robot101> and if you were seeing eg 7000 online users, that'd be 49,000,000 presence probe/response messages when you signed on
14:53 < Robot101> which is presumably why it was falling over
14:54 < mog> why would you have 7000 users online?
14:54 < mog> they are all unnamed
14:54 < mog> how does that work in the interface
14:54 < Robot101> it doesn't, but the XO currently relies on having the server hand it people
14:55 < Robot101> as a short term hack we had "Everybody" group
14:55 < Robot101> and as a consequence of the hack, we never really got a sensible way to search/friend people
