This sounds really really useful. I think there is a requirement for this to be as standardised as possible, as the easier we make the life of web developers, the more likely we are to see Jabber integration in websites - which can only be good for us. Ideally I would like to see this become a (semi-)standard part of the Jabber server. There should be a default agent - say 'webpresence.myserver.com' - that users could register with that could handle this type of stuff (strictly opt-in of course). Possibly making status messages etc available into be included in html pages in addition to an image. Is there any chance of getting a JEP together for this? I'm happy to draft up a list of requirements, but would need some help with the technical details or implementation aspect etc. Mike JID: michael @ aurora.gen.nz _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
