[JDEV] JEP-8 User Avatars in Jabber

[Klaus H. Wolf]

OK,

I need avatars for my client display, because images are the primary
representation, i.e. no buddy-"list". Do you know of any developments in the
Avatar direction? Otherwise I will leave it to my common sense as protocol
designer :-)

Any ideas at Jabber Inc to which I could be compatible when avataring?
