Yeah, the call for help is clear - it's the response I'm having doubts about. > You may not have a blog and you may not > want to use a service like Qunu, but instead tap into the expertise of > your buddies (and interested others). Yep, doing it across XMPP, especially with presence etc. makes this quite sensible. > Perhaps I confused things by calling it "bleg".

Well, my inclination is that if you're interested enough to answer, you're probably interested enough to see how it 'turns out', and so would want to see the notifications yourself. The spec as it is probably only really covers the Q, and doesn't do much about the A :) /K
