Something that I really see missing in
the area of SIP presence and IM and is
related to simple-chat is the enablement
of chat rooms and interdomain chat
rooms in particular.
I do not know what should be the route
of achieving this but it seems something
that is really missing for SIP presence
and IM deployments.
If there is a need for someone to help
here, I am willing to help.

[Simple] simple-chat status

Hi,
We originally started work on draft-ietf-simple-chat back in 2007,
with the idea that we could finish it quickly, and have something that
works prior to completion of similar, but more general work in XCON.
It's been two years now, so we clearly didn't finish it quickly, and
it's been sitting without update or discussion since last spring.
(Please don't take that as a complaint against the authors. I don't
mean it that way--we're all busy here.) We are looking at how to get
the draft moving again, but there's an important question we should
address first:
Is simple-chat still relevant? Should we take the effort to fix it, or
should we shoot that milestone in the head?
To recap, we WGLC'd simple-chat last April. There were non-trivial
(but not necessarily earth-shattering) issues brought up in the
feedback. That is, there's still at least a bit of work left to do on
it.
Perhaps Adam or Alan could comment on the status of the related work
in XCON?
