By the way, about IM logs, I often thought that it would be nice to
be able to store your chat history on servers. Indeed I often want
to retrieve some conversation but I am not always on the same
place, the same computer or simply I use different clients for
tests (so even on the same computer I get lost to "where" is this
interesting discussion I had with someone). Sometimes also I have
to use clients with no log support, or I don't want to store them
locally though I don't want them lost. In fact, it would be to XMPP
what IMAP is to the emails and enable to separate the content (chat
history) from the reader (Jabber client), though they will still
have to process the data for displaying, search, etc. What do you
think of this?
Well, there's XEP-0136, which does this within XMPP.
There's also been discussion of handling "advanced" archival and
search by sticking the conversations into an IMAP store, since
searching and managing is something that IMAP does pretty well. (And
it'll improve without us having to do anything particularly special).
My apologies for changing the subject line to something relevant.
