Hi,

We have implemented support for fully Lync-compatible Desktop Screen Sharing in Pidgin SIPE by funding the FreeRDP-project and made everything Open Source.

You can actually see how it works quite easily on your local network by git-cloning and compiling FreeRDP MASTER [1], starting up the FreeRDP server-binary on one of your host, and then connect the FreeRDP-client on another host to your socket and watch the shared screen. It is very high quality.

Now I wonder if there are some suitable spec for taking our stuff to XMPP? The session is very similar to how File Transfer works, and I know there is a XMPP-spec for that. Is there a spec for sending arbitrary data? In order to make this work we had to add something called "x-data raw" to the Farstream library, in order for the library to be able to handle other stuff than just pure audio and video. I guess I am looking for something similar applied to the XMPP-world.

I really think that getting nice and crisp (and fully open source) Desktop Screen Sharing would be a highly appreciated feature.

 What are your thoughts/comments/questions?
