Hi, I have been reading the discussions about Basic/Intermediate Client 2008 because I was interested in file transfer interoperability. Although there is a standard (XEP-96) file transfer does not work properly within the XMPP famliy of clients. <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.igniterealtime.org/forum/thread.jspa?messageID=152457#152457" target="_blank">http://www.igniterealtime.org/forum/thread.jspa?messageID=152457#152457 </a> <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://forum.psi-im.org/thread/4174" target="_blank">http://forum.psi-im.org/thread/4174</a> <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.jabber.standards-jig/10468" target="_blank"> http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.jabber.standards-jig/10468</a> Wouldn't it be nice if file transfer worked as seamless as an e-mail attachment? I would love if at least the main players (recommended clients in <a onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://jabber.org/" target="_blank">jabber.org</a>) could agree on an implementation guideline.
