Stability, upgrading from one version to another, etc.

Uhh reliable transports is something i'd kill for :)

Re: Jabber/IMAP/???? services for Tablet Users - Would you use it?
 

That's part of the goal. Lots of transports and extra services which are stable and available to all easily.

Aside from GTalk, it's been a while since I used Jabber. I've been happy with Pidgin 2.2.2 on my N800, and I'm looking forward to using Pidgin 2.2.2 on the N810.

My previous experience with Jabber was "use only as a last resort, if no other resources were available." I've seen intermittent transport failures on the servers I used, and I saw some pretty bizzare XML translation errors. Stuff such as font changes, use of HTML (anchor tags), or avatar/icon changes weren't being passed through Jabber correctly.

What's the state of Jabber now? Does OpenFire support formatting, HTML, and avatars?

Having a tablet-friendly server with services to the tablet user community sounds promising. :)

I dont understand this ... why would I need yet another jabber/imap-account? whats the point besides having a maemo or IT-related domain?

Re: Jabber/IMAP/???? services for Tablet Users - Would you use it?
 

I haven't seen anything like that in years... at least not on the server I've been using anyways.

Re: Jabber/IMAP/???? services for Tablet Users - Would you use it?
 

Well, maybe you don't, but it seems like there's quite a few people that are interested in having these kinds of services but don't know much about how to use them, how to get Jabber connected to AIM, MSN, etc... or just don't know a server with stable transports. I'm kind of looking at it as an all-in-one solution for the services a tablet user might need.

Sure, I realize that most power users already know and have what they want already... just thought I'd put out a more tablet-based alternative.

Just for grins, I checked some domain names. The following are available:

tabletport.net
maemoport.net
maemotrans.net

...and many, many more!

Hmmm... pair one of those up with a fully-functioning LDUG, partner with ITT here, and it's the holy trinity of tablet resources! :D

Re: Jabber/IMAP/???? services for Tablet Users - Would you use it?
 

Tablettalker.net? Go Web 2.0 with Tablettalkr.net... hahah.

There's so many possible choices.

Tex is thinking big. I like that. :D

Re: Jabber/IMAP/???? services for Tablet Users - Would you use it?
 

So the main point would be to give tablet-users an easy to use all-in-one solution, with documentation etc. based on the tablet interface, and not so much in the service as such? Oh. - Oh! Thats it.
