Exciting things are happening around Google Talk today. First, Jabber has
published the experimental draft Jingle specs, which extend XMPP for use in voice over IP
(VoIP), video, and other peer-to-peer multimedia sessions. You can read more about that from
Jabber or go straight
to the specs:
Second, we've released an open-source library we're
calling 'Libjingle' on SourceForge. Libjingle is a set of components provided by Google that
let your programs interoperate with Google Talk's peer-to-peer and voice calling capabilities.
The package includes source code for Google's implementation of Jingle and Jingle-Audio. Check
out the Libjingle site
for more information about that and for details on how to download and implement the
code.
We're also proud to have given a donation to the Jabber Software
Foundation as a show of our support. They've been doing some great work and we are happy to
have the opportunity to support them.
