I'm in the process of doing so, but notice: 1. There's much to read ; 2. There are JEPs that say they are obsolete, but don't say what obsoletes them! > before diving in and hacking away otherwise you will risk > wasting your efforts as you seem to have by creating solutions to problems > that have already been solved, > or simply not following the protocol > standards This is mostly what I want to avoid. > and again wasting your time and effort, i.e. you created an > illegal extension to presence (illegal because it is not namespaced), Obviously I wouldn't ask if I had thought it was ok. > and its dubious anyway because the extension you are trying to create does > not > seem to relate to presence and thus should not even be there in the first > place. Well, the patch I made for gaim is simple: you set an uri in your preferences, and it gets sent with your presence. So if you look at it this way, it's not dubious: it's just wrong. But if you consider the grand scheme of having the voip client able to notify that you're already on a call, or in do-not-disturb mode ; then really that's presence, and it's not so dubious. So in short: it really is presence, even if the sample implementation I have doesn't make it clear. > So what I would suggest as your first step is read and try to understand the > protocol layed out in the RFCs and the JEPs, and before you go creating > anything new double check the JEPs/RFCs to see if what you are trying to do > has already been done or not, if it is at the development stages I would > suggest contacting the author of the JEPs in question and providing your > feedback on it to try and help out. I don't really want to develop on jabber ; I just want to be able to use it, and probably needs advice on this.
