Ok. I don't see anything about porting this to jabberd2, any plans for that?

Also, I plan on writing a proper jabber namespace and moving many functions into that as we have other parts of the system that will need access to many of the functions offered by the jabber package. Which is another item I don't really see on the list.

The namespacing is part of the "clean up and integrate to .LRN 2.1" on the top of the list.

As for Jabberd2, yes, this is on the list, but long term, as this has some implications which Björn can talk about in more detail.

Also the idea is to extend the support for the XMPP Protocol in the long run to enable message exchange between OpenACS and  other systems (Jabber-RPC at http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0009.html).

One of the biggest goal where XMPP support might get us going would be to record coccinella (http://hem.fyristorg.com/matben/) whiteboard messages, so you could have an online class using this whiteboard enabled jabber client and anyone who missed this session can at a later stage view the chat played from the OpenACS server. Though there are a couple of "if's" involved which need further investigation. And it does not stop there....

Ok. Well, These are things that I have fairly immediate plans for doing. If you guys would care to publish some of the immediate plans for this package I will gladly work with you guys on this. Do we have more than this quick list somewhere?
