Category: None Group: None >Status: Closed Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Duane Groth (deltafoxtrot) Assigned to: Nathan Walp (faceprint) Summary: enable enum.164 lookups within Gaim Initial Comment: Currently we run a service at e164.org to enable among other things VoIP routes to be efficiently stored in a centralised fashion via scalable DNS infrastructure. This system isn't limited to purely VoIP information (SIP/IAX/H323) as users currently have the ability to store non-VoIP information as well, such as AIM, Yahoo!, MSN, ICQ, IRC, FTP, mailto, HTTP, LDAP, GPG Fingerprints and even X.400 style LDAP street address fields. As new uses come up we are willing to review suggestions to increase support for more protocols. Due to requests by Jabber developers, we went ahead and add XMPP and other IM protocols to our database. They request this feature as they wanted to leverage our systems for XMPP URIs to make it easier to lookup contact information using only their phone number. Some thoughts on how this could be incorporated into the gaim application were to add a menu item "Search for user by Phone Number", then throw up a search dialog which then sends out a request to do a DNS lookup. If any results are returned from DNS an address book type display could pop up with the ability to add any contacts to Gaim that Gaim both supports and the user is logged onto a service. Any other pieces of information could be greyed out but show for informational purposes only. The benefit in this system is that a person can store virtually an unlimited amount of ways to contact him/her via one simple number, rather then trying to tell their contacts every single way to contact them. I perceive a big benefit in this for Gaim and it's user base as it would more efficiently unify how users contact each other across the IM networks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Luke Schierer (lschiere) Date: 2007-04-12 12:16 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=28833 Originator: NO As we are closing this tracker, please submit any feature request that is still valid to http://developer.pidgin.im.

Why not make a plugin that does this, and additionally, allows users to post and edit their data? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Duane Groth (deltafoxtrot) Date: 2006-02-09 00:36 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=887282 I forgot to mention that enum.164 is covered by many RFCs, such as http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2915.html and http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2916.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=350235&aid=1428108&group_id=235 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
