Discussion needed - Server based SIP-Contact List

Hi!

One idea we have is a centrally stored contact list for sip.
I miss this
feature in sipcommunicator now, but I would develop it as a
plugin. I think
about exporting the contact list into xml (as it is stored
locally) and
upload it to an ftp-server, and download it on startup.

Has anyone thought about such a feature and probably thought
about some
reqirements?

Yours, thomas

Yep, I have tought about it sometimes ago, and I think it
will be great 
to have such a feature.
The main "problem" I see is privacy  concerns.

When someone has an account on some server, it is obvious
that this 
server stores its personal data.
But what about storing them elsewhere ? If the user can have
a "trusty 
server" it is OK.

Regards.

	The contacts server should be accessible by LDAP. There are
plenty of
Java LDAP client classes already existing (and tested).
There are lots
of LDAP servers already running out there. There's lots more
to
client/server transactions than just the data format, so XML
alone isn't
a solution, and FTP isn't as good a protocol for these use
cases as is
LDAP. LDAP is the precise solution for this. Let's not
reinvent the
wheel for S-C.
