Re: [Simple] New IM-specific feature



(as individual)

I concur with Paul's opinion (and questions).

To expand a bit, while I have seen some IM systems with this function, its utility seems weak in a _presence_ and IM system. That is, the sort of information one might put into a QA is better communicated as part of presence state. IMO, this sort of thing is exactly what the presence distribution mechanism was designed for.

Dear All,

I would like to propose a new IM-specific feature for SIMPLE, which i
would call as "Quick Answer(QA)". Allow me to explain about it briefly.

In instant messaging system, it is useful to have some readily available IM (text, audio or video) which can be sent in case of the receiver is too busy to type/speak/record for a reply. User can create and store IM
(QA) using a particular client device and can use them when required.
Creating and then storing on a single device may not be very useful
because user can log-in a particular IM system using different client
devices at different point of time. In that case QA created using one
client device will not be available to another client device.

I would like to propose a draft to solve this problem and perform the
needed standardization, which will further make this IM-feature
possible. Before moving forward I would like to get some initial comment
from the group about this idea. You comments would be valuable.

Where do you imagine this new state would be stored?
And who/what would use it?

Are you proposing a "database" that is shared by the various UAs for an
AOR, that they would each update and retrieve from?

Would the sending of the answer still depend on a UA receiving the
message? Or do you expect that the answer will be sent even if there is
no UA registered?

IMO this doesn't fit well with the simple model.

	Thanks,
	Paul
