[jdev] web presence

[Matt Tucker]

Peter,

We've supported this in Wildfire for quite some time. You can read about
how this works at:

http://www.jivesoftware.org/wildfire/plugins/presence/readme.html

We haven't thought of a really good way to represent opt-in yet --
you'll see the types of work arounds we have in place by reading the
doc.

Regards,
-Matt
