[JDEV] what is gale

[Scott Robinson]

I happen to be a Gale user. It's similar to Zephyr except it has end-to-end
encryption. Your "account" on Gale is actually a public/private key
combination.

Gale uses RSAREF for encryption, which is _not_ exportable outside the US
without a license.

I'm still looking at Jabber, but writing a Gale transport for it wouldn't be
very hard. It's another protocol, nothing special. ;)

Does anyone else have any other questions?

Scott.
