The chatty part is figuring out if people are actually available on the local network. > If it was a fun experiment, why is XEP-0174 in status Final instead of > Experimental then? Well, it worked OK at small conferences when universal connectivity wasn't so common in the pre-smartphone days (folks had a lot of fun using it in Adium and iChat back then), but I haven't seen it used since 2010 or so. It went to Draft and Final quickly (perhaps we were more efficient about moving things forward back then), but it doesn't seem relevant anymore. Peter
