Signing up for more work

Foolish, I know, but I'll get stale if I do nothing but email. This week I are been mostly writing a draft proposal to be given to my senior management team, suggesting that I should implement a Jabber service for Cambridge University. All comments and suggestions welcome!

I agree that they are useful together.

I don't think it would be possible to alter someone's Jabber presence information based on the contents of a leave calendar. Presence is the kind of personal information which must be under a user's control: there would have to be some way to bypass user authentication in order for anything else to be able to change it. On the other hand, it would be fine for a departmental staff location service to subscribe to someone's Jabber presence if they allow it.
