[erlang-questions] Re: Erlang-based opensource publish-subscribe servers

But then, why not pg2 ? It says:

"In pg, each message is sent to all members in the group. In this module,
each message may be sent to one, some, *or all members*. "

With the option of sending to all-members, it looks like something that is
quite similar to pg, and isn't tagged "experimental" and also more proven
thanks to it being used in the disk_log module !!
