Daniel, I've been observing dialogue. A few points.
First, the Avatar for a MIX channel is an associated with the channel, not with individual participants. So an XSF MIX channel might have an XMPP logo as the avatar. This would be very stable. It feels like you want to have unique identifiers for users. This is what the JID is for. In many situations, JID visible rooms will be ideal. Nicks give a convenient display shorthand, and are also useful where JIDs are hidden (there are valid use cases). .. In closed environments, you can have Nick Registration, which can help your scenario. In an open scenario, I think having two users in a channel with the same Nick would cause confusion. And you can't in general decide who gets the friendly name. If you use JIDs, and I know you as Daniel, then if I join a channel with you in, my UI can make clear that this Daniel is the one I already know Steve _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list Info: https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards Unsubscribe: standards-unsubscr...@xmpp.org _______________________________________________
