http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/plugins-beta.jsp has a vCard Service, but there is little interest in it. I guess that most users prefer their existing systems or Clearspace to display user information.

in response to LG:
Sorry I've got you confused. What I meant was, when do you plan to publish your first webMUC alpha release?
Daniel Henninger
says:
Awesome LG, I'm glad someone ported this list over! I'm also excited to see there's a community plugins forum! Did you spearhead that??
(btw, I've used your vcard plugin before 
worked quite well!)

I would like to see the plugins (at least the completed ones) posted as separate documents containing an explanation of the functionality, installation instructions, limitations, etc. You can use the Packet Filter Plugin from natep as an example.
I just think it will be easier for people to find plugins this way, and each one can be rated separately as part of the document rating. We're doing something similar on Jivespace, and it is working pretty well.
We might even want to turn this document into a list of work in process (not yet completed) plugins.

in response to Aznidin:
One should really create a new discussion instead of abusing the comments section for things like. I've little time at the moment as it's summer, so my nights at home are very short, so the plugin is in an unstable state and not ready for anything. I could of course release some documentation of all the planned things.
It was aznidin who did ask for a "Plugins Sub-Com".
As every plugin which is released on the JS page has a README I'm not sure if one would like to copy it into a new plugin document as no one wants to maintain two documents with the same content. I may add in a document here generic information, probably also about the activity of the project.

Hey LG, ya know what? You're right, and I'm abusing it now :-). And that's dangerous. AFAIK unlike a "discussion" object where admin can delete/move/branch/etc the "message" objects it contains, "comment" objects in a "document" can't be managed. It will be there forever, unless some system admin modifies the Clearspace db table directly, but that's crude!
I may add in a document here generic information, probably also about the activity of the project.
Soon, there'll be several documents for a single plugin and they get clutter up with the other plugins' documents. Jivespace may work pretty well now but who knows, the time might come...

I removed the IP plugin since it doesn't work. Read more about it in this thread: http://www.igniterealtime.org/community/thread/29402

Remembot throws errors with openfire 3.4.1 and 3.4.2.
The plugin-system does not handle that exception correctly and presence-messages get lost.

Heya, there is a auth provider on http://blog.guruz.de/jdbccryptauthprovider-for-openfire/ available for download. It supports crypt() passwords from JDBC.
johjar
says:
I added a link to the Mucho plugin. It is a component for Openfire that spawns users that joins group-chat rooms and echoes all messages, sent to the user, to that room.
Way to go LG!!! So, when would be the first alpha release?
