[OTR-users] JEP-0116

[CLAY SHENTRUP]

I was wondering whether Ian or anyone else could be convinced to implement
XMPP extension JEP-0116 <http://www.jabber.org/jeps/jep-0116.html> in Gaim,
an OTR-like encryption scheme at the protocol level for Jabber.  I think
applicability to Jingle would also be quite important, for voice
transactions.  I'm willing to donate 200$ to anyone who will do this, and
hopefully others will find it valuable and help as well.

I haven't read through the spec thoroughly, so I'm only assuming it handles
hurdles previously crossed by OTR (like the false identity exploit).

I understand you're aware of these extension, Ian, and I wondered whether
you have any thoughts about this.  OTR is a great system, but is sort of a
hack, using white spacing and such to work with a range of protocols.
Something that would work at the protocol level, as well as address voice,
would be quite desirable.

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.
