the bug you reported regarding the contact I remember that was reported 
to me and I guess it was fixed. I will double check to see if something 
is still wrong there.

Most of the presence modules for kamailio are working fine -- I have 
running presence services on couple servers and nobody reported any 
issue so far. rls is not easy to test as not many have support for it. I 
paid bria license for mac os x and it is full of bugs, I reported an 
issue about two months ago and got no answer so far.

Like Inaki said, not sure how many operators will invest much more in 
SIMPLE "crazy extensions" (even the ietf group is not much active 
lately), but the core presence specification should work fine with 
kamailio these days.

About one year ago I did quite some fixes, so looking to see if there 
are any ports from forks might not be wise. It is better to directly 
report the issue and I can take care. To my knowledge, Alex Hermann 
reported some potential race when sending requests via tm on sourceforge 
tracker with a patch, but was not providing the proper fix - I should 
review that issue as well.

Cheers,
Daniel
