Does it have to be in the presence info? I noticed the (unused?) XML-vCard spec has fields for such things as a users GPS location - which is way cool, but I don't think has ever been used.
I would love to have my client display a small map of the world with a highlight where the user you are chatting with is (great for the geography impaired like me!). Perhaps your time would be better spent trying to get a consensus on a decent implementation of the vCard or similar that all clients can use, and just pull the info that they require, rather than loading up the presence tags. Just a suggestion. Michael. PS - the current vCard definition can be found here, but needs a lot of work IMO. http://hades.jabber.org/protocol/vcard-xml/ GEO tag is: <!-- Geographical position. Values are the decimal degress of LATitude and LONgitude. The value should be specified to six decimal places.--> <!ELEMENT GEO (LAT, LON)> > I am working on a project where we have a server that is tracking users' > locations > via various technologies, and recording them in a realtime database. > > I would like to be able to annotate each jabber user on the server with > some information about their physical location.
