Jabber Support

[ajitgeorge@…]

An increasing number of developers are using IM to communicate and hash out issues.

I think it would be interesting to design a method by which group discussions between registered trac users over IM (such as Jabber) are automatically logged as transcripts in Trac.

For example, a Trac site would have a 'group-room' associated with it. Whenever users sign into the group-room, anything they do/say there would be automatically logged and outputted (with formatting) on a transcripts page.

Just a suggestion

While this sounds like a nice idea, I feel that in practice it would be difficult to format the resulting transcripts in a fashion that is useful.

I'm currently working on using the TracPluggableModules framework to provide for extensible notification and plan to implement Jabber support.

Is this still something you are working on (or planning on working on)? Pretty old ticket :)

See related #3140. There's also the th:IrcLogsPlugin which does something quite similar to what is described here, although for IRC.

In any case, this should be a plugin.
