Stefan Neufeind (http://pear.php.net/user/neufeind) has commented on the proposal for
Networking::Net_IMInfo.
Comment:
I like the idea. But as described in earlier comments, I think that all network-specific functions
should be moved into separate containers. A name of Net_IM_Presence makes most sense to me, to clear
up the namespace, and to be able to maybe add Net_IM_MSN or whatever. By the way, isn't ICQ
named "Oscar" (because of the protocol name)?
If Andrew has some insights in the different protocols I'd really like if he could extend his
work in that field and maybe offer separate packages at least for basic text-chatting. This would
allow to write daemons that utilise the networks. And those separate packages could then be used
inside Net_IM_Presence so we won't duplicate functionality.
Oh, how about Jabber-presence-checking? Anybody knows something about this? If (easily) possible,
could it be added to the package? Well, but that's not one thing on which my decision for a
first release depends - just giving the thought.
