[asterisk-users] Asterisk as XMPP component. How to use it ?

This is indeed a direction we should consider in order to relay call
and device state information to XMPP users. As those kind of messages
are exchanged via PEP (Personal Eventing via Pubsub), we'll have to
implement that too. But still, I'm not sure we can provide this kind
of presence information on behalf of XMPP users if we connect Asterisk
as a component.

On the other hand, by connecting Asterisk as a XMPP client, we could
easily pass call and device state information to that client's buddy
list. The main drawback of that method is that Asterisk needs to be
provided with the user password.

I know Psi supports PEP, not sure about User Activity though.

No.
