Hi, i'll add my 2 cents :) Then again, while XMPP is quite nice for normal usage on the net, maybe we
need a different protocol, namely one that is VERY bandwidth efficient (XML is not really famous for that, a binary protocol could potentially do much better) to keep GPRS costs low?
The best would be: - using a plain text protocol : irc would be great, but prevents further extension (webcam over ip or voip), so SIP might be better - using a compressive transport layer (tunneling into ssh, with compression ?). My opinion is, if we really want to turn the OpenMoko platform to it's maximum extend, we'll have to associate it with a server-side component (running all the time, such as a WRT or NSLU2 device), a multiprotocol IM gateway, a remote storage feature (sshfs?), an imap webserver, a web gateway... Everything tunneled into a secure-as-possible connection. Example: http://www.bitlbee.org/main.php/news.html for IRC (server side)
