Walter, Guus,
You are right, but I cannot write stable code. I can help with testing. Ideally would be an overall Igniterealtime roadmap that includes Openfire, Spark, Tinder, Smack API and XIFF API.
Below is my proposal for OF 3.7.1. The idea is stolen from the ignite realtime web site:
The next version aims to make Openfire more stable. Future versions will look at requirements of the XSF roadmap which has identified several high-priority initiatives which include:
- Make XMPP file transfer more reliable by transitioning to Jingle (see XEP-0234) with SOCKS5 bytestreams (XEP-0260) and in-band bytestreams (XEP-0261).
- Revise the specification for Multi-User Chat, incorporating the results of implementation experience, interoperability testing, and input from the XSF’s technical review team.
- Combine Multi-User Chat with Jingle to enable multi-user media session management.
- Define a method for distributing multi-user chatrooms across multiple servers.
- Transition from the vcard-temp format to the vCard4 standard developed at the IETF (seeXEP-0292).
- Work with the microblogging community and other social networking developers to define consistent methods for integrating “social” and “mobile” features into XMPP, based onPubSub and Personal Eventing Protocol.
- Solidify XMPP extensions for whiteboarding and collaborative document editing based on the Shared XML Editing specification.
- Continue to improve the resistance of XMPP to spam, phishing, abuse, and denial of service attacks.
