Hi. I'm read XEP-0108, compared it with my imaginations :)... and see,
what list of activities not full.

I suggest to add:
* drinking
 * having_a_cocoa
 * having_a_juice
 * having_a_milk
 * having_a_water

I think we don't need so many details.

Agreed.

* eating
 * having_a_fruits

Same here. It's not about what you eat, but what type of food you eat. Otherwise we could millions of activities.

Agreed.

* exercising
 * martial_arts
 * roller_skating
 * skating
 * snowboarding
 * surfing

Yes, this is indeed something we could discuss :)

I'm sure there are many more possibilities here -- skateboarding, cycling, weightlifting, etc. etc.

* hobby (or add to relaxing?)
 * blogging
 * shooting_with_camcorder
 * shooting_with_camera

Guess these are rather uncommon.

And for Americans, don't forget shooting with a gun. :P

* relaxing
 * in_the_web

Agreed. But I'd call it surfing.

Right.

 * listening_to_music

Don't people do that in background, anyway, and not as their main activity?

* talking
 * via_instant_messaging

This is somehow pointless. You could have that activity whenever you're available.

We'd need to list multiple simultaneous activities, too.

* working
 * searching_an_information

Might be useful, others could help you find it when they see that.

Co-browsing?

However, keep in mind that it's an extremly hard job to do icons for all activities! For the current activities, we have some for nearly every activity.

Indeed!

What I'm missing is for example a smoking activity, even as a non-smoker. No need for others anymore to set an away message for that.

Yes, that's a popular activity. But smoking what? ;-)
