I don't think this variant complies with the Jabber standards, I mean I don't think there's a JEP mentioning how partial messages should be sent.Quote by Cobra on 09-21-2003, 02:24:2) Show, letter by letter or word by word what recipent is typing. Like in Wintlak, Epop or ICQ chat. Often I give answers before second side finish question
I suggested 2) few months ago...
Both variants are good. Second is a bad choice if you use GnuPG encryption.
You're right, it would use too much bandwidth.Quote by Kev on 09-30-2003, 04:23:"User is typing" is fine but I really don't like transmitting as things are typed. For one thing it's a hog on bandwidth and secondly I don't think it's (I hope it's not) feasible within jabber.
Typing notifications *are* supported by XMPP. Exodus for example supports it and it's one of these features you only miss once you know them ;-).Quote by Kev on 09-30-2003, 02:23:"User is typing" is fine but I really don't like transmitting as things are typed.

JEP-022Quote by Kev on 09-30-2003, 06:34:Has the jep been finalised then, I was under the impression it wasn't yet :S
Besides, would it be feasible in Jabber ?
A few weeks ago, i asked on a jabber mailinglist if messages could be saved on the server when all clients are in away mode, and retrieved when another client comes online. This seemed to impose too much of a burden on the server. Another option could be to be able to share history files across clients.Quote by Shermozle on 10-06-2003, 12:07:That means I can safely leave Psi logged in from work when I go home, and vice-versa, and any incoming messages will be routed to the one I'm actually using.
I think actually that seperating the JID field in the account setup back into user and server name fields would almost solve the problem of a ´new user wizard´. That´s caused the most confusion for people that I know of. Most people either have no idea what the format of a ¨Jabber ID¨ is, or think that it´s just the username portion.Quote by Fritzy on 09-16-2003, 09:07:Ok guys... I know there's at least one in there I feel passionately enough about to buy a book and get my hands dirty. Which one is highest on your list? Personally, I have to say the Setup User Wizard because users are having a hard time even getting started, and guess what: 99% of them don't post in the forum to ask for help; they just give up. That's my 2 cents.
Hmm. I think that would confuse real Jabber usersQuote by Hawke on 10-07-2003, 07:24:I think actually that seperating the JID field in the account setup back into user and server name fields would almost solve the problem of a ´new user wizard´.
. Maybe after the Jabber ID field, there should be a small text such as '(e.g: username@myjabberserver.org)'. That would solve a lot of problems, and at the same time learn people what a real JID is.
Getting Started with PsiQuote by spike on 10-08-2003, 12:05:Therefore, i still feel there should be a new user dialog, starting with a dialog asking you to create a new profile (or use an existing if there already is one), followed by adding an account to the profile. Shouldn't be too complicated.
I know of no "Real" Jabber users that would be confused by having a username part and a hostname/domain part.Quote by spike on 10-08-2003, 03:05:Hmm. I think that would confuse real Jabber users
I think the "Create profile" should be removed completely, in favour of the ICQ-style: Create a default profile and use it. (Possibly name it after the first nickname defined under that profile) Then, have the Psi->Change Profile be a Psi -> Change Profile->Profile list.Quote by spike on 10-08-2003, 03:05:Another thing which might remove confusion is, when creating a profile, it should be clearly explained what a profile exactly is, that it can contain one or more jabber accounts, maybe even a short text on what accounts are. There should be room for that in the textbox on the right of the 'create profile' dialog.
That problem is already solved IMO: There is only one path to follow when the "Profiles" dialog first pops up. However, I think that not requiring users to worry about profiles unless they want that feature (as described above) is a better solution.Quote by spike on 10-08-2003, 03:05:However, this still leaves room for confusion: the user still has to find out he has to first create a profile.
