PHPBee is an RSS newsfeed source directory service on the server side and a client for this service written in PHP-GTK on the client side. For more information, see the Developer's Manual and the PHP conference slides.

This project was created for a 2002 PHP Conference session, titled "Writing rich clients for your web application with PHP-GTK and XML-RPC". The future of PHPBee will be driven by user and developer interest. If there will be no active interest in it, then the first version will be available for download for those interested in PHP-GTK rich client development, but further enhancements will not be available. Everybody is welcome to help in this situation, the current code (inner API) is very well documented, so it should be easy to start.

This project also includes a new XML-RPC implementation, which is quite flexible, and encourages current XML-RPC standards and proposals. This may evolve as a side-project in the future...

This project would not be in its current shape, without our kind sponsors. Thanks to

Slides

The slides of the conference session about this project are available as a "gallery" of the slide images, with the ability to comment on images.

I also had a session on documentation, and those slides are also available in the same system.

As I have promised, links in connection with the slides are available here, so you can get more information on the net about the tools and standards mentioned.
