If you are interested in chatrooms, just read the MUC JEP: http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0045.html. If you are interested in file transfer read the associated JEP: http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0096.html
The both have tons of examples. Everything you need to implement the protocol and extensions are present in the JEP's if you don't want to read the RFC's. The JEP's are very easy to digest. I disagree with you, I think the jabber.org website is very good considering the amount of time that is allocated for it. However if you would like to create additional material I am sure that they would be considered for inclusion on the site. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hung Jung Lu Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2004 8:35 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [jdev] Developer resources Hi, I am a newbie. I think Jabber website has very poor resources for client-side developers. I understand that there is no need for another chat client, but what about people that want to use Jabber for distributed computing? I think Jabber is really a great platform for cluster computing. Some details like connection, disconnection, fault-tolerance, logging are all built-in. I mean, Jabber has a huge potential as a developer's tool, yet you can't tell it from the website. Just as a standardized log monitoring utility, its value is already unbelievable. I think Jabber's focus is misplaced: it tries only to portray itself as public chat utility for general audience, forgetting that itself is a good developer's tool: like XML-RPC, Zope, etc. The website really ought to separate the general-consumer part from the developer part, and maybe have some topic guides, or even some Wiki for developers. There is no tutorial and sample usage of the protocol on the website, at all. The RFC-style protocol description is just not good for someone that is beginning. Could someone point out some resources to me? Some websites? I would like to use Jabber from C++/C# and Python. I have been able to send simple messages from Python, but I'd like to know things like how to open a chatroom, join a chatroom, etc. And other features like how to send/receive files. If someone knows where to get started with C++/C#, that would be great, too. (I know, I may just have to buy the book. But this is unusual, for other software utilities, I usually have been able to try out first, get some familiarity, and then decide whether I need a book.) regards, Hung Jung __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
