Jabber/XMPP Tools roadmap: Jabber RPC

Here is what is going to keep me busy with Jabber/XMPP Tools. Since the library should be a lightweight module integratable into non-IM software (this is the main goal with it currently), no full XMPP functionality is expected, only reasonable features for non-IM software, especially server side.

The first goal is to be able to deliver notifications via IM. With connection, authentication and message objects implemented this task is complete.

A new goal is server automation. Through this tools library server would be able to keep persistent XMPP connection, have it’s status shown through XMPP presence and expose itself for remote commands using Jabber RPC. Limited Roster functionality may be also required to secure exposed RPC.

Thus, roadmap is: presence and RPC.
