OTRv3's instances are indeed intended to accomplish a similar goal to XMPP's resources, but without requiring the IM client/protocol to natively know anything about them. This allows OTR over other IM protocols to not go insane (as was the case with OTRv2) when someone logs in more than once. _______________________________________________ OTR-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cypherpunks.ca/mailman/listinfo/otr-dev
