Google, Jabber, and Jingle

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the happy-holidays dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Jabber has published the experimental draft Jingle specs, which extend XMPP for use in voice over IP (VoIP), video, and other peer-to-peer multimedia sessions. Google released an open-source library called 'Libjingle' on SourceForge. Libjingle is a set of components provided by Google that let your programs interoperate with Google Talk's peer-to-peer and voice calling capabilities. The package includes source code for Google's implementation of Jingle and Jingle-Audio."

    Now if google would just implement server-to-server jabber connections, this might be useful!

      Someone noted on one of the Google Talk mailing lists that as of the 9th of December Gmail's DNS has contained the SRV record necessary for other Jabber servers to send messages to the talk.google.com server (previously only the SRV record for clients was there), so it looks like it's definitely coming soon.

      Also a beta of GAIM 2.0 is due today supposedly containing support for Jingle-Audio, so it looks like things are really starting to move in the Google Talk/Jabber camp.

    Of all the people to have a broken link... Did anyone else try the "Home Page" link on the SF project description?

    I currently implement Jabber functionality into my project's code.

    I better lock the door before my pointy haired boss comes in: "This looks interesting. I want VoIP before you can go home for Christmas."
