Hi,
I think it's more interesting if the authority would actually sponsor
someone to write this JEP plus implementing the JEP to provide a public
service.
It seems they are using Web Service to provide public access to their
information. We should encourage them to also use XMPP because of the
"push" advantages of using XMPP and integration of presence.
Does anyone know someone working there?
Tony
P.S. If you are interested in getting weather information, you can also
refer to my another article, http://www.chatopus.com/articles/bots.html,
which discusses a weather bot.
