Jabber code

• Contribution to XMPP4R, pretty much recent:
  • Multi-User Chat implementation
  • File-Transfer (and SOCKS5 and In-Band Bytestreams) implementation

• JabberHole is a user-scriptable XMPP proxy (can be extended by Ruby-scripts which modify incoming and outgoing stanzas)

• A couple of XMPP4R examples, which may be beyond basic IM programming:
  • A MUC client with Gtk+ GUI (gtkmucclient.rb, Screenshots)
  • A very minimal MUC component implementation, lacking all features (minimuc.rb)
  • Roster Discovery exposes the user's roster (with groups) to Service Discovery
  • XMPPing can be used to query a target JID periodically
  • A basic adventure component, representing a MUC in which a user can walk from place to place, meet non-player characters and talk to other players at the same place (Screenshots)

• Unreleased and unfinished stuff:
  • A Jabber client to be used over WAP
  • An extendable service-watching component
  • A component for the Pentabarf conference-planning system
  • A component which lets users subscribe to bus/tram stations of Dresden, displaying when the next bus/tram arrives
