Jabber LJ_Bot client feature request - gmail interface!

So I don't quite know if this should be posted here or if this should be posted in lj_dev, so sorry if it's wrong

LJ profiles already have spaces to fill in a GChat and/or generic Jabber ID. So it seems all that's missing is the logic for the lj_bot to validate an incoming Jabber IM from a different server by verifying that the Jabber address is listed in the journal owner's profile.

I personally haven't delved into LJ's codebase very much, but if someone could let me know whether that feature is assigned to someone who is actively working on it, or where specifically I would look in the codebase to make the changes [what's the repository path], I could take a look. To me it seems pretty simple

Actually, that syntax could actually solve the problem across the board. Require @journal_name@ for every foreign jabber post, and then that simplifies the search, because the server just needs to look up that specific journal and check it's settings... since you can't currently use jabber to post to communities, it's not even a problem for those! If you want to enable community support you can just fallback to the other behavior I described, it would be slower, but workable nonetheless.

Yes, you need to take this to ljdev. They don't read this community.
