It is a little bit ironic, but few days after we talk about the real time communication i had a request to install rocket chat for a company where I manage the servers ( and where, btw, I have kolab installed). So i configured the chat to use the ldap directory; I'm not so sure how the ldap integration is implemented but as i see this part is very basic. But that part can be improved if needed ( and maybe i can contribute here). This install give me the opportunity to update my knowledge in the real-time chat area ( I was not fully aware of how webrtc works in my previous message); well, probably is better first to read about the subject and then talk about but sometime it is not the case :) So, i have now, regarding kolab, a new dilemma : we can use webrtc to obtain peer to peer chat and voice; but we can have the case when somebody use the web client and the other one is on , let's say, pidgin, connected to the jabber server. How can we manage that? We need to bridge the webrtc protocol to the xmpp server somehow ... i think this is possible but there is some work /documentation about that?
