+ <tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
+ <p>This interface is for services which have a concept of presence which can
+ be published for yourself and monitored on your contacts. Telepathy's
+ definition of presence is based on that used by the Galago project
+ (see http://www.galago-project.org/).</p>
+
+ <p>Presence on an individual (yourself or one of your contacts) is modelled as
+ a last activity time along with a set of zero or more statuses, each of
+ which may have arbitrary key/value parameters. Valid statuses are defined
+ per connection, and a list of them can be obtained with the GetStatuses
+ method.</p>
+
+ <p>Each status has an arbitrary string identifier which should have an agreed
+ meaning between the connection manager and any client which is expected to
+ make use of it. The following well-known values (in common with those in
+ Galago) should be used where possible to allow clients to identify common
+ choices:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>available</li>
+ <li>away</li>
+ <li>brb (Be Right Back)</li>
+ <li>busy</li>
+ <li>dnd (Do Not Disturb),</li>
+ <li>xa (Extended Away)</li>
+ <li>hidden (aka Invisible)</li>
+ <li>offline</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>As well as these well-known status identifiers, every status also has a
+ numerical type value chosen from ConnectionPresenceType which can be
+ used by the client to classify even unknown statuses into different
+ fundamental types.</p>
+
+ <p>These numerical types exist so that even if a client does not understand
+ the string identifier being used, and hence cannot present the presence to
+ the user to set on themselves, it may display an approximation of the
+ presence if it is set on a contact.</p>
+
+ <p>The dictionary of variant types allows the connection manager to exchange
+ further protocol-specific information with the client. It is recommended
+ that the string (s) argument 'message' be interpreted as an optional
+ message which can be associated with a presence status.</p>
+
+ <p>If the connection has a 'subscribe' contact list, PresenceUpdate signals
+ should be emitted to indicate changes of contacts on this list, and should
+ also be emitted for changes in your own presence. Depending on the
+ protocol, the signal may also be emitted for others such as people with
+ whom you are communicating, and any user interface should be updated
+ accordingly.</p>
+
+ <p>On some protocols, RequestPresence may only succeed on contacts on your
+ 'subscribe' list, and other contacts will cause a PermissionDenied error.
+ On protocols where there is no 'subscribe' list, and RequestPresence
+ succeeds, a client may poll the server intermittently to update any display
+ of presence information.</p>
