There is demand for this plugin.

[pstadler]

extreme demand! one person in nine months.

Anyway, do you consider implementing this? Would be great!

[DrPlantoid]

There's demand from my users.

Any hints on where to start to code such a plugin? Those from the repo only interact with the chatroom.

You'd need to add a hook to chat state notifications in order to receive them and for sending them you'd need to send a correct stanza.

It isn't that difficult and may be a good starting plugin :)

Statuses such as 'away', 'dnd', etc. are part of the core XMPP presence notification mechanism.

XEP-0085 seems to be more focused on the participation of users in a chat like "Is the user typing right now?"

[mweibel]

Ah yeah, that's actually true :)

I'm interested in this too.
