Thanks for the pointers. When I have time I will follow up - but what I am mainly interested in is some sort of simple system for displaying Jabber presence info on webpages. This is a feature you can see in almost every forum system for the big four (ICQ/AIM/MSN/Yahoo) - the icon beside each user post to show if they are online or not. From my experience it is very hard to talk forum/portal web authors into including Jabber support without this. Can anyone tell me if someone is working on this for any of the above? Ages ago I wrote up a proposal to do this via a transport in JEP format (which Peter wouldn't accept despite my constant nagging) but I have had little feedback on it or seen any alternative ideas put forward: http://www.yabber.org/jep/webpresence/webpresence.xml (IE6 renders this with the XSLT - not sure about other browsers) If we can get a Jabber icon to show up beside even a small fraction of user posts on phpBB/phpNuke sites then it is going to drastically raise the awareness of Jabber on the web.
