Today Oleg V. Motienko from russian jabber-users maillist gived an idea of "ICQ server" (it really can be done with any other IM service too). I think it can be used to provide more smooth ICQ->jabber migration. The idea is simple: jabber server that supports not only in-band or web administration, but allows users to log in using their ICQ UIN and password. So - it will be straight forward way for migration - just supply your credentials and you will got your contact list immidiatedly just if you were logged by some alternative client. The bonus is simplisity - the user will get normal jabber account in one go w/o needs to be registered on server and (important) on transport. (S)He can benefit all jabber features immidiatedly. Another bonus is that we can route messages inside such server w/o need to ask icq.com to do this for us. The backside is that we will get a zillions of badly named jids and worstly that the user can imagine that jabber is just some another client for ICQ.
Any thoughts? -- Respectfully Alexey Nezhdanov _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://jabberstudio.org/mailman/listinfo/jdev
