== Collaboration Brainstorm ==


------
* Gadget replaces <s>presence service</s> the jabber server shared roster, and should solve scalability problems caused by the shared roster


Remarks:
* Gadget is an XMPP add on component, should be compatible with any standards compliant server
 
* Telepathy API is adding avatars, file transfer and P2P tubes.
 
* It was decided to talk about collaboration requirements Tuesday night.
 
* Future improvement to telepathy include jingle support, multi user audio video chat, and GeoLocation
 
* The presence service is being removed
* It is an additional abstraction on top of telepathy, and telepathy is already and abstraction API
 
* Mission Control provides API to manage accounts(usernames, passwords etc)
* Executes applications based on incoming connections
* Sets avatar, manages capabilities, could re-use existing IM account
 
* A way needs to be found to allow chat in shared activities.
