Use Multi-User Chat for SMS conversations #101

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Use the XMPP Multi-User Chat (MUC) feature[1] for SMS conversations instead of 
"sms:" and "reply:". MUC allows users to hold conversations in "private rooms" 
hosted on the server. In the case of TalkMyPhone, one room would be used for 
each phone number the user is conversing with via SMS.

Use Case 1:
User wants to begin an SMS chat with Bob Smith. He sends the command "chat:Bob 
Smith" to TMP. TMP then creates an appropriately-named MUC room and invites the 
user to this room. Any messages the user types in this room are sent via SMS to 
Bob Smith, and any incoming SMS from Bob Smith are sent to this room.

Use Case 2:
User receives a new SMS from Alice Jones; no existing MUC room exists yet for 
Alice. TMP creates the room and invites the user to this room.
