[ecf-dev] AW: ecf-dev Digest, Vol 21, Issue 2

Hi all,

Just a point of precision in reaction to Scott's mail. My suggestion is to
rename it to "ECF Telephony API" in analogy to the existing "Microsoft
Telephony API - TAPI", "Java Telephony API - JTAPI", "Cisco Telephony API"
etc.

Greetz,
Roland.

Hi Roland and All,

Although I don't have any objections to renaming things away from 'call 
API' for reasons Roland gives, won't 'telephony API' be confused with 
windows' 'TAPI'?  Some alternatives that occurred to me:

*.voip.*
*.phone.*
*.telephone.*

But I'm easy :)...if after further input from others Roland thinks that 
*.telephony.* API is best then we'll go with that.

Roland when you are ready to introduce the new plugins (whatever their 
names) please let me know and we'll coordinate on removing/adding to the 
build (and javadocs generation, etc).

Thanks,

Scott

Hi Folks,

FYI, Smack version 3.0.0 is now out and available here:

Libs:  http://www.igniterealtime.org/downloads/index.jsp#smack
Source:  http://www.igniterealtime.org/downloads/source.jsp

For those current working on Jingle support in ECF call API, this 
release has Jingle support in it.

I've created a plugin from both the smack 3.0.0 API with the jingle 
extension API and made them available via the ecf1.osuosl.org site for 
all of us to use.  See the attached project file to import this project 
into your workspace.  Note for the time being I've given the plugin the 
id 'org.jivesoftware.smack3' to distinguish it from our current plugin 
'org.jivesoftware.smack'.  Note also that Smack 3.0.0 requires JRE 1.5.

I suggest that we coordinate our efforts on the use of smack 3.0.0 to 
introduce Jingle support into ECF (and extend the call API as needed to 
do so).  I think committer Roland Fru (roland@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) and I 
should jointly lead this work...i.e. on the call API, use of Smack 3.0.0 
for Jingle support, work on other providers (e.g. skype, sip, etc), and 
work on UI's and/or applications. 

I would like to have a conference call this coming week (April 3) about 
coordinating work among all of the interested folks.  Could people that 
are interested in participating in this effort (e.g. Roland, Moritz, 
Pierre, myself, any others) please indicate when during the week 
(day/time) would work for a 1 hour conference call by responding to the 
ecf-dev mailing list?  I'll arrange for the conference with the Eclipse 
Foundation once we pick a time that will work for all.

Thanks,

Scott
