I think the main use case is really to restrict your roster (and presence to a few group). Personnally, that's what refrain me to connect on XMPP sometimes, I want to talk with someone in a company group, but will not be able / have time / be convenient talking to friends or other types of contact. The idea is really that on mobile, you might want to start a quick adhoc session that will be limited to a target group. What you suggest can be done by retrieving the roster normally and enabling a privacy rule. > Oh, and we need a way to retrieve the list of groups before we can > specify which groups we want to receive, I think. Yes. I agree. -- Mickaël Rémond http://www.process-one.net/
