Missing features: * VoIP/video: for this it is probably the best to forward to another service similar to TokBox and MeBeam (maybe a new XEP is needed for this?). It should work this way. You call with your Jingle enabled Jabber client to a contact on the transport. The transport forwards your Jingle session request to the external service (MeBeam, TokBox, or something new). This service should get a Jingle interface besides the Flash interface on the website. When this service receives your request from the transport, it will open a Jingle session with you and it will notify the transport about this. The transport will also receive the URL which your MSN contact needs to open. Thus your MSN contact needs to open his browser and you can simply use your Jabber client without noticing any difference with a voice/video chat with a normal contact. * Reliability always can be better * Cache to store messages when your contact is offline. When the contact comes online, these messages should be sent. * Add support for all PEP XEPs (User Nickname, User Tune, User Activity, User Location...). Of course not all of these can be mapped to similar features in MSN, but it is common use in the MSN world to pollute your nickname with this stuff. IMO it is a very good idea to contribute to this pollution as it will make Jabber clients a better choice for people to connect to MSN...I want to see more messages like this one: http://coccinella.im/node/223 ;-) * Add support for webdav file transfers. It will be very nice if people can send their files using webdav services like http://in.solit.us/ This kind of file transfer can be much faster for downloading and/or uploading and may be a compelling reason for people who regularly transfer large files to switch to a Jabber client. The advantage also is that this kind of file transfer is easy to keep compatible with the MSN protocol; when Microsoft changes the file transfer protocol, you still can send files using webdav! -- Mvg, Sander Devrieze.
