Hi Roy and others,
I would like to get a sense for whether persistent chat rooms is
something that people want in the ECF API.
A little background: There is a distinction between persistent chat
rooms and 'instant' chat rooms. Currently, ECF presents a client
interface (IChatRoomManager.createChatRoom/2) for creating instant chat
rooms.
It doesn't yet have an interface for creating persistent chat rooms or
chat rooms with other types/options (as described by spec here:
http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0045.html#terms-rooms).
One reason is that such an API is more like a remote server
management/provisioning interface...as opposed to a client
interface...it has implications for server resource management,
security/policy controls, etc. Such im/presence server/management APIs
are potentially 'fair game' for ECF, but so far our APIs have been much
more focused on supporting client-side development. Further, the
standardization of such interfaces is not nearly as clear, as the xmpp
standards work generally focuses much more on protocol standardization,
as opposed to server impl management APIs.
In any event, I would like to get an idea of how important community
members perceive these directions to be. We have a number of other
directions to focus on over the Ganymede release cycle and would like
get input about relative importance in the short term.
Thanks,
Scott

Hello Scott
apologies for this late thread response ! In the application we are
working on, persistence is not required and I suppose this might be case
with a lot of users.
Best
Roy
