Dave Winer: That's correct. All formats and protocols implemented by RCS could be implemented in any environment that has support for XML, SOAP and XML-RPC; commercial or open source. Specs for every format and protocol on our websites. The basis for competition is performance, price and ease of use. Ours community server runs in Frontier and Radio, with the advantages that come from that. But there are lots of ways to slice it.

Simon Fell: I wonder if
Dave is expecting any competition in the RCS space? RCS seems to be layered on top of
XmlStorageSystem so I'd expect that you could plug different backend implementations in, without affecting the clients. The Blogger API seems to have become the defacto standard interface for blogging tools, can we expect something similar for RCS tools ?
