==Requirements==
The application has no feedback on whether a notification was seen by the user.
==FAQ==
To help people get up to speed faster and prevent backtracking, commonly asked questions by those getting involved are listed here with an answer.
=== Is this going to use XMPP? ===
The presence channel to AppServices will have an XMPP option. It's useful to remember that Mozilla Presence is in very early stages at this moment. Worrying about the exact implementation is a detail that we're not addressing yet as we build some prototypes to test ideas out and prove the overall concept is worthwhile.
=== Shouldn't Mozilla have a way for me to see my contacts online? ===
Nowadays, peoples' personal connections are spread across multiple online services (Facebook, Google+, Skype, etc). These services usually already have done the work of ensuring both people want to see each other's presence and have ways to facilitate a conversation. All they need is a way to be aware of a users presence when their app might be closed or suspended (on a phone). By serving as the underlying plumbing notifying AppService's when users are online, Mozilla Presence avoids having to try and change users expectations about where their 'friends' are and can facilitate new social interaction applications that need presence data.
