Hi Everyone,
I have been wondering about the standardization of pubsub nodes in a
roster. This may belong more in JDev, but I think it is pretty
applicable here, as Pubsub is in the forefront of many of the things
we have been talking about. I will give a simple use case to describe
the problem:
Imagine an RSS app, where every website is a node. Obviously, it would
be nice to have a way to display which feeds I am subscribed to, and
how many unread messages I have from each. At the moment, from reading
the XEP, I can't find a way to do this in a standardized way.
Is there an agreed upon method (just put them in the roster and do as
if they are always available)? It seems to me that it might be
worthwhile standardizing this. I may have totally missed an agreed
upon solution, but it looks like this has been touched on before:

Any thoughts on the matter are welcome.
Thanks!
Itay
