Re: [DotGNU]Would you like any Jabber with your dotGNU?

[David Sugar]

Jabber is a very interesting bit of work.  I recall having the 
impression it is under bsd-like license, or at least not something alien 
to free software.  I do think it is worth looking at and our goal in 
dotgnu is not to re-invent everything but to assure that the results of 
dotgnu and/or those projects dotgnu integrates are and will remain free 
software.  Actually I had looked once before at Jabber, and perhaps 
having it fill some role in Bayonne and gnucomm, particularly in 
presence management and provisioning of ip phone users.

When we look at other projects that cover or relate to some aspect or 
part of dotgnu, we often do need to have some form of open and effective 
communication to be able to work with them, and I think this is a good 
step.  I honestly do not know my availability this afternoon, as I have  
to visit someone in NYC, but I hope a few people here can and do take 
this opportunity.
