http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27107

           Summary: activity/application presence
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: git master
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: tp-spec
        AssignedTo: telepathy-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: tomeu at sugarlabs.org


Because Telepathy isn't only for text, audio or video chat but also allows to
use programs together with other people across the network, we want to provide
ways for users to discover what others are doing and to share with others what
they are doing.

Telepathy already allows inviting other people to participate in our
applications, but there isn't a standard way of discovering what others are
doing.

The old, Sugar-specific APIs in telepathy can be found here:

=== Use cases ===

1. Sumana is writing an article about Telepathy for the GNOME Journal. She is
using Abiword and would like for other Collabora employees to be able to read
as she writes adding notes and suggestions.

2. Guillaume decides to take a rest during his work day and checks if any of
his contacts is playing Sudoku on the network.

=== Requirements ===

1. Publishing of which sharable applications a user is running.

2. Discovery of which sharable applications our contacts are running.

3. Information about the applications should include whatever info is needed to
identify that application, and also to join the shared session.
