[JDEV] Buddy Lists as a communications hub

[Edwards, Jim]

I'd like to suggest that in the future, presence may
be an enabling technology for much richer communication experiences -
communications that go way beyond simple instant messaging.  For one
possible approach see http://developer.intel.com/ial/ilc/.  Note:
this is not a pitch for the technology found at the URL, just perhaps
a direction for future work beyond basic presence and instant
messaging.

Thanks,
Jim Edwards
