Revision as of 09:34, 16 September 2008 by Xugu Madison (talk | contribs) (Added note about Jabber/IRC mixup, and encrypted traffic requirement)
Comments from Xugu:
- Comments from Zero about Jabber were mis-attributed as being about IRC. Corrected, and statement about IRC added.
- Would anyone object to adding a requirement that the protocol can handle encrypted IM traffic, even if that handling basically involves ensuring that IM traffic can be passed through as binary without the protocol trying to decipher it as a character set.

Comments from Lillie:
- Strongly disagree about RD groups not existing. There are a number of use cases for IMs being RD, including scripts, since IM is an means of communication.
- There's no reason to involve the AD in all Group IM.
- RDs may or may not want to expose land management to the AD, one current function of groups, and there fore possibly of group IMs.
- Use case, agent/object communication. Objects can currently IM agents. They should be able to IM groups that they are a member of, and should be able to receive IMs. A particular Grid may opt not to allow agent/object, object/object IMs, but it is something that many people want, and should be supportable by, the protocol and design.
- Requirements should include that the solution corrects the current time delay problems, or at least dramatically improves time performance.
- Requirements should include that the solution dramatically improves the current failure rate of message sending, as well as the number of false positive error messages.
- Requirements should include encryption as a possibility.
- Requirements should include that the system be able to send arbitrary streams, including text, sound, video, or any other binary stream of data. (e.g. whiteboard e.g. midi e.g. cap)
- Requirements should include that group management be able to read group capabilities. (i.e. some group members can send IM, others cannot.)
- Requirements should include that messages be marked for delivery only to online agents, or will be delivered as soon as an agent logs in.
