Feature requests for new version of Messenger plug-in API?

Have you considered adding plug-in capabilities for the
conference 
window?  It might be fun to create multi-user games like
Chinese 
Checkers, multi-user card games, or just share a map with
more than 1 
other person.  At this point, I really don't know what the
best 
application is, but I think the limit of 2 people per
conversation is 
very limiting.

The main feature I would like to see is the capability of
creating 
conference plug-ins.  The current limitation of two users is
quite 
restrictive.  For example, we could imagine a sales
presentation in 
HTML that could be delivered to a group, or sharing maps
with more than 
1 other person.  Even the Yahoo Avatar World would be better
if there 
were more than 1 other person in the conversation.

John, the top of my API feature wishlist is access to my
voicemail
data and audio.  I would like to use the API to request a
list of my
voicemails with details like timestamp, from, length,
etc...Once the
details are available, I would like to query the API for a
specific
voicemail's audio in mp3 format so that I could stream it to
an
internet appliance.  Thanks.

                             Jon

Hi,

I've just summed up some of my posts here:

A. API requests:
1) Add a way to invoke sending "Audibles "(custom
user created SWF
from diskmemory).

2) Add support for "conference" and
"public" in IParticipants->get_Friends
see: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ydn-messenger/mes
sage/515

3) I think IEventsConversationWindow is implemented only by
ConversationPluginHost.
It would be nice if it would be implemented by any object
that
implements IConversationWindow (namely ConversationWindow)
see: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ydn-messenger/mes
sage/562


B. Please fix the following bugs:
1) http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/ydn-messenger/mes
sage/508

2) It's not API, but I encounter it too much - when I
minimize a chat
window to task bar, and the restore it,
the size of the "input area" (richedit) is not the
same as before.
very annoying when u have the format+audibles opened.
I wonder if only I encounter it or is it a known bug ?

Thanks for your help.
Si.
