[Adium-devl] Adium and XEP-0196: User Gaming

[Andre-John Mas]

I am not sure how many serious gamers there are on the Mac, though any  
work at the XMPP level would be part of libpurple, so this could  
benefit other platforms too. Looking at the specification for this and  
comparing it to XEP-0118 (User Tune), it looks like it should be  
possible to write a basic implementation based on that code, and then  
see what it could take to at least get some open source games to take  
advantage of this, simply to get the ball rolling. Maybe eventually I  
could imagine an Xfire compatibility wrapper, though I am just  
throwing ideas into the wild for now.
