freedesktop - Nov 2010 - [fdo] How to Access XMPP-Based Media Server

Hello people!

My name is Jon Kristensen and I am planning to create a XMPP-based media 
server called Pontarius. The typical use case of Pontarius would be to 
host all your media on a local server and have that server share it with 
your friends (with customizable permissions, of course). The server will 
make sure that any transmission is end-to-end encrypted. We will be 
making heavy use of the XMPP protocol.

Now, I would like to make some kind of "binding" so that GNOME and
other
free desktop environments can browse the contents of a Pontarius server 
(so that you can see your and your friends media). Do you have any 
advice on where I should start? We will be using Jingle and the 
Publish-Subscribe XMPP extensions to do this. What is the lowest level 
layer that I can/should work against here?

Thank you so much for any advice on this!

Warm regards,
Jon Kristensen

We have now formulated our idea at 
http://www.pontarius.org/pontarius-0-1-features-draft/. Comments are 
more than welcome! :)

Best,
Jon Kristensen
