[asterisk-dev] res_jabber call backs

[Ruddy Gbaguidi]

Yes, it may become a very good feature if asterisk can receive
at any given time a message, parse it and execute something.
That will allow an asterisk server to be part of any existing jabber 
network and interact more easily with other process like IM clients or 
embedded IM clients.
