Talk:Presence Service

Roadmap

I'm going to massage the bug list into a feature list... must still add telepathy-other tickets that are relevant to presence in general. --morgs 10:13, 5 February 2008 (EST)

Here's a rough list of the issues planned:

Update 1.1 (hypothetical Mongolia release)

Issues needed for Mongolia:

• #6299 presence service should disable salut in the presence of school servers on mesh

- related: #5908 Laptop unable to connect to schoolserver jabber server

Update.2

Bug fixes for Update.1 that didn't make code freeze:

• #6142 Salut buddies aren't displayed in the mesh view

- Fixed in release 0.75.0, tested in Joyride

• #6295 try opportunistic registration if authentication fails

- Has patch, needs review

Jabber Server work:

• Ejabberd work by Process One
• Server component to replace shared roster

Older bugs:

• #4009 My XO is friends with itself
• #5829 Chat Activity displays other users names weird

New issues:

Ongoing tubes reduction:

Future
