Re: [Standards] Message Mine'ing

[Matthew A. Miller]

I think that message mine-ing is a very elegant and simple solution to determining user intent. Priority provides a course view of the user's attentiveness and gets us mostly there, but requires users to be proactive (e.g. diligently changing their presence). On the other hand, message mine-ing requires the users to be reactive, which most already are. In my opinion and experience, there's little additional work clients and servers would need to do, and the payoff would be huge.

There are some additional things clients may need to do to make this most effective, but I think that would have to happen regardless of what solution is utilized. Mr. Hildebrand suggested some based on presence, and I think clients may also need to consider a full-JID recipient stale after several moments of inactivity (e.g. leave the chat window open "forever" but only actually have short bursts of activity between long periods of silence). However, I don't see these behaviors having a negative effect on the user experience. If anything, it would most likely improve it by making it even more obvious that a conversation is waking up.
