Hi,
I'm in my last but one year at the University of Ghent in Belgium (http://www.rug.ac.be) where I'm attending my Diploma of the Second Cycle (licentiaat) in Computer Science. For my last year, I have to work on my thesis. We can choose from subject that our university presents to us or we can choose a subject of our own (but we have to do this before next week :( ). Because I'm very attracted to Jabber and XML I would like to do something with it. I personally thought of a news report system through Jabber. For example, there are a lot of newsgroups now, only available through a browser. Sometimes you would like to follow a discussion very close, so it would be very helpfull if you could be notified in real time when a new message arrives at that discussion. Because of the open source thing Jabber has, this could be "easy" implemented (by "easy" I mean that it would me much harder to do with systems like ICQ, MSN,...). So I would like to do the inverse thing of jogger (http://jogger.jabber.org): instead of "me" bringing messages to the web I would like to have the web bring messages to me. So it would have the functionality of http://www.jabberbuddy.com/watcher.html but I would like to have it available to more people and continuing the decentralised spirit of jabber. Because I wouldn't like to reinvent the wheel I contacted you first, because maybe this already exists or maybe you have a much better idea. My goal is to bring Jabber much much closer to the "ordinary" home user or "ordinary" web developer, I want them to see that jabber has much more in it than e.g. ICQ or MSN. I tried to convince some friends of me to go to using Jabber, but they just didn't saw nor I could convince them (or not all of them) why it was important to have another IM-system taking up their RAM. hoping to hear from you soon greetings Mattias Campe _________________________________________________________________ MSN Foto's is de eenvoudigste manier om je foto's te delen en af te drukken: http://photos.msn.nl/Support/WorldWide.aspx _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
