Do not to encode any semantic into the resource and don't specify a resource
Description
Instead of letting the user specify a resource or providing a pre-configured list of possible resource names (e.g. '/home', '/work', '/notebook') let the server generate a resource for your client. You may optionally provide a possibility to configure the resource to the user under a "advanced settings" menu (or similar). But a XMPP user should not need to configure or specify a resource.
Rationale
Resource names should not be guessable to prevent presence leaks.
