Action Messenger

I’ve been playing with Action Messenger lately. It’s pretty nice — it doesn’t do quite everything I want, since it was built with notification, rather than chat, in mind. But, it’s a good base, and satisfies my desires to play with Jabber in Ruby.

    just take a look at xmpp4r - there is also a project which focuses on creating a actionmailer like interface for jabber messanging but i dont have the url right here

    Yeah — I’ve been playing with XMPP4R for some time now. I probably should have specified — Action Messenger satisfies my desire to play iwth Jabber in Rails, and since I’m working on a Rails site with a strong Jabber component, Action Messenger is a nice fit. Most of what I’m doing is communication back and forth (chat), rather than one-off notifications (messages), so I’m having to do more work in XMPP4R than Action Messenger, but it’s still a nice abstraction to have.

    If you find the other project, definitely let me know!

    hey - sorry i was a bit confused - the project i meant was the action messanger ;)
    but you are right - actionmessenger is maybe the better choice for programming railsthings.

    Hi Jesse,

    Do you plan to improve Action Messenger and contibute to the project ?
    Because i’m working too on a rails IM project and i agree that for the moment this plugin isn’t complete for my needs.
    I’m not sure that the goal of the author is to achieve a full featured rails jabber framework, but that would defenitely be a great thing to have !

    I wish I had time to, but I’ve been pretty wrapped up in other projects. If you yourself do some work on it, I’d love to hear about it!
