Summary:                    [branch] Receiving Text from res_jabber
Description: 
Hello,

So far, chan_gtalk sends text to GTalk clients only. There is no way to
hear input from them which limit us a lot.

It will be awesome if we are able to receive text from GTalk users, to
provide extra services such as:

1) Voice menus. The user can select menus by sending corresponding keys
2) Or, "text" menus by which the chan_gtalk replies by text messages
instead of voice

I am glad that phsultan thought about it, however very disappointed that
it was canceled.

John,

XMPP chats (with JabberSend/JabberReceive) are indeed triggered by *voice*
calls going though the dialplan. And if I understand correctly, you want to
be able to start a dialog with Asterisk over XMPP from your XMPP client
without involving Jingle nor GoogleTalk.

Instead of doing achieving that with XMPP messages, which should be
reserved for pure text exchange, I think we could implement ad-hoc commands
in Asterisk (http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0050.html), which would allow
us to place calls using Local channels (e.g. no voice) and therefore reach
all of the dialplan applications, including JabberSend and JabberReceive.

ad-hoc commands are implemented in most XMPP clients.

What do you think?
