| I just thought I should share my experiences with Google Talk and Multi-User Chat. Multi-User Chat works (for the most part) with clients who use google talk. They can join conference rooms and send messages to and from them. One thing that is broken is invitations. People with google talk accounts just never get any invitation sent to them! I believe this is because of google talk's "accept no communication from anyone not on my roster or from anyone I haven't sent anything to" policy. Once a presence stanza is sent to a room, I can send and receive stanzas just fine. However, invitations are sent from the conference-room JID itself which means that it will always get filtered by google talk. This is a big problem. With no easy way to give someone the ability to quickly join a conference room, it becomes much more cumbersome and complicated when I try to get non-technical family members to join specific rooms. It doesn't help that most clients don't support the "xmpp" URI correctly (ARGH!!!). One way to fix this would be for google to add a special exception to the filter rules that would examine to see if the stanza was a conference room invitation or not. If it is a conference room invitation, it should check inside of the stanza to make sure that the person who invited them is on that person's contact list. If they are, then it the invitation would be allowed to go through. Make sense? Anyway, I just wanted to bring this shortcoming to the community's attention. Hopefully it'll be fixed at some point. __________________ Robert Quattlebaum Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] eMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |
