Blacklist
Last modified: 2008-09-15 12:14:53 UTC
You should be able to avoid people from calling you/auto-hang up. That's one basic thing I'm missing, hope you'll add it.
There's a Do-Not-Disturb mode already. Leaving open, since indeed we don't have a whitelist-blacklist mechanism yet.
I opened a discussion thread on DEV ML about it.
There is some RFC for this mechanism: "2.3. Privacy and Policy The rich presence capabilities defined by the specifications in Section 2.2 introduces a strong need for privacy preferences. Users must be able to approve or deny subscriptions to their presence, and indicate what information such watchers can see. In SIMPLE, this is accomplished through policy documents, uploaded to the presence server using the provisioning mechanisms in Section 2.4. RFC 4745, Common Policy: A Document Format for Expressing Privacy Preferences (S): [RFC4745] defines a general XML framework for expressing privacy preferences for both geolocation information and presence information. It introduces the concepts of conditions, actions and transformations that are applied to privacy-sensitive data. The common policy framework provides privacy-safety, a property by which network error or version incompatibilities can never cause more information to be revealed to a watcher than the user would otherwise desire. RFC 5025, Presence Authorization Rules (S): [RFC5025] uses the framework of RFC 4745 to define a policy document format for describing presence privacy policies. Besides basic yes/no approvals, this format allows a user to control what kind of information a watcher is allowed to see. RFC 3857, A Watcher Information Event Template Package for SIP (S): [RFC3857], also known as watcherinfo, provides a mechanism for a user agent to find out what subscriptions are in place for a particular event package. Though it was defined to be used for any event package, it has particular applicability for presence. It is used to provide reactive authorization. With reactive authorization, a user gets alerted if someone tries to subscribe to their presence, so that they may provide an authorization decision. Watcherinfo is used to provide the alert that someone has subscribed to a user's presence. RFC 3858, An Extensible Markup Language (XML) Based Format for Watcher Information (S): [RFC3858] is the companion to RFC 3857. It specifies the XML format of watcherinfo that is carried in notifications for the event template package in RFC 3857." From http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-simple-simple-02.txt
