Summary:                    Receiving Text from chan_gtalk
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.

A new branch is now available to test the JabberReceive application :
http://svn.digium.com/view/asterisk/team/phsultan/jabberreceive/

Code snippets are now included in doc/jabber.txt

In this new version, timeout value can be set, so the new format becomes
:
*CLI> core show application JabberReceive 

  -= Info about application 'JabberReceive' =- 

[Synopsis]
JabberReceive(Variable)

[Description]
JabberReceive(JID,Variable[,timeout])
  JID      - Jabber ID of the buddy to receive message from
  Variable - Variable to store message in
  timeout  - Defaults to 20s

*CLI> 

Ronald (loloski) : this new feature won't be backported to 1.4, but I'll
send a patch.

Mahmoud (eech55) : I think JabberReceive should be used in conjunction
with functions/applications like SendText or JabberSend, not Background.
The idea is really to set up a *text* channel within a call context. I
understand your point but I'd really like to keep this application as
simple as possible, from both usability and implementation perspectives.
And this implies preventing overlapping with DTMF.

Gents, please give your feedback, and thanks again for all your efforts in
testing and designing this application.
