[OTR-users] jabber jingle

[CLAY SHENTRUP]

Well, after all the evangelism I've done in support of SIP for IP telephony,
it turns out that Google has backed open extensions to XMPP (Jabber) to
enabled voip.  Not only is this essentially what's already used in Google
Talk (which will eventually be totally open and compatible with other Jabber
networks), it's simple to implement (much simpler than SIP) and better with
firewalls.

Gaim 2 is supposed to support Jingle eventually, using none other than
libjingle.  I think it would be awesome to see the fundamentals of OTR
applied to this in some way that is suitable for voice.  Is this anything
any of the developers think would be interesting?

My opinion is that with Google backing it, and with its open nature, Jingle
looks like it's going to be the eventual de facto standard for VoIP.  Maybe
that's premature, but it makes a lot of sense.  Gaim 2 is supposed to be
wicked.  OTR supplemented VoIP would be even more wicked.

Thanks,
Clay

Here's an idea that would save the world:  I think, we should get some large
magnetic rings and attach wires to them such that one wire is attached to
each of a set of two magnetic rings in opposing polarity. Then, we should
dig up everyone that was a great thinker of the enlightenment and dip them
in molten iron. After that, following Maxwell's famous equations, we'll just
tell that girl and all the other stupids that we prayed for it to happen and
jebus made it work, we'll put all of our iron covered thinkers of the
enlightenment back in their graves inside the magnetic rings. Once there,
the combined speed with which they turn will be enough to ween us off fossil
fuels.
