Oh, and before I forget, someone also mentioned communities in jdev a
while back (perhaps the week before last), and a customer was talking
abut the desire for something fairly similar.
I looked at the communities proto-xep, and it looks... curiously
compelling, but perhaps too complicated. I think we could actually do
communities entirely client-side, using MUC in order to both share
presence bilaterally with other community members, and also broadcast
messages to the community, in a curious and slightly microbloggery
way - effectively, it's just a different interface on MUC, rather
than a different protocol on the wire.
Is there any interest in specifying something like this, and, more
importantly, would client authors consider implementing something
like this?
Dave.
