Presence and IntComm WG

Joe:

  I was at a conference and didn't get back in time for the call. Sorry
about that.

  The NIST stuff is getting better. Early implementations had quite a
few problems both in the build process (ant config files) and the Java
code itself. Most of these issues have been addressed in the latest
release.

  I recently began working with shtoom-0.1. It works but the user
interface (on Windows) is very basic. Essentially no functionality other
than a simple text input box for the URI. Still it is interesting and 
something
I plan on investigating further.

   Something I'd like is for the "Map" function in Sipc to be available 
in a
standalone application as well as integrated with Sipc. The main reason 
is that
I often want to set my location but for a variety of reasons don't have the
SIP/SIMPLE client running. At a meeting like the MM someone knowing
my location is valuable even if they cannot use SIP/SIMPLE applications
to communicate with me. I think this is hard to do but I wanted to 
mention the
idea to the group.

   Along the same lines I'm all over the idea of support for small 
devices!
Modularizing the "PIC client functionality" should help facilitate the 
use of
other clients and platforms.
