One of the most annoying things while working with code libraries is the lack of documentation…it’s almost as if, the more usefull the library the lesser documentation available on it.. 2 classic cases that stood out for me was while using OpenSSL and zlib.OpenSSL takes the cake though, a lot of things are left to the developer to make sense of it…
Gtalk was supposed to go interop with the release of libjingle..well from my experience that doesn’t seem to be the case exactly.The protocol which gtalk uses for signalling is not the same as the JEP specification for jingle(JEP- 0167) which causes my server to reject all requests coming from a gtalk user 
…
So much for interoperability..sigh
It’s been about 5 months since i started working on xmpp/jabber,and i’ve been sold hook line and sinker!!!.I don’t know if jabber/xmpp is the future of IM but it sure looks like with Google already jumping into the bandwagon.
So what have i implemented in xmpp so far ..hmm. let’s see
XMPP core,XMPP-IM and presence and the following JEPs
Discovery Info, Jingle,Jingle audio,Non-Sasl Authentication to name a few….
More on my experiences with xmpp/jabber later…
