I think there a big need to have consistent way of:
1. structuring ³shared spaces² in a bldg/floor/room layout 2. attaching multimedia (audio, video, whiteboard, presentations, voting/surveys, etc....) to a MUC to create a ³shared space² 3. attaching asynchronous media (wiki, file storage, blogs, portal, etc...) to a ³shared space² basically in order to move XMPP beyond just a chat standard we need to look at the ³shared spaces² concept and figure out how to do it one better than all the proprietary collaboration systems. This was a big part of why we are creating a whiteboarding/presentation proto-XEP. For the asynchronous stuff its pretty much HTTP(s) and WebDAV and for audio/video its Jingle. But the key is everything builds around the MUC and ³shared space² would extend the MUC¹s configuration with additional fields that provide URLs or JIDs for the ³share space² services. if you integrate XMPP with a SSO solution than it really becomes a viable idea. boyd On 10/27/08 12:25 PM, "Dave Cridland" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Oh, and before I forget, someone also mentioned communities in jdev a > while back (perhaps the week before last), and a customer was talking > abut the desire for something fairly similar. > > I looked at the communities proto-xep, and it looks... curiously > compelling, but perhaps too complicated.
