RE: Differences between KnowNow commercial and mod-pubsub

Suggestion heard, loud and clear.  (By the way, welcome!)

I think it's fair to say KnowNow is the industrial-strength commercial
implementation; for it you can buy support, clustering, failover,
higher-performance, and an Excel connector, plus it has documentation
(which, as we've noted many times, we're lacking), decent installers,
and it has been tested and used by many paying customers.

Most of KnowNow's customers do buy it for commercial line-of-business
applications, whereas mod-pubsub does tend to appeal more to the web
architects and developers of things like email and news apps.

Note that all of the mod-pubsub client libraries work with the commercial
server as connectors, so if you ever need to switch over, migration
is fairly straightforward.

Yes, please!

Actually now I'm curious what the differences are between KnowNow and 
mod-pubsub; I had been assuming that the former was 'merely' the 
industrial-strength commercial implementation of the latter, as with 
jabber.com and jabber.org.
