[zeromq-dev] Zeromq Malamute status

[Kevin Sapper]

Hi Peter,

I can't tell you about the state of malamute.

But the dafka project might be of interest to you.
https://github.com/zeromq/dafka

It connects a cluster of publishers to a cluster of subscribers. It also
uses one or more towers for discovery. Further you can add stores to
persist your messages. And re-read your chat messages. The tower is
currently not described in the Readme but you can have a look at the code:
