[JDEV] Buddy Lists as a communications hub

[Steven Wagner]

Jim,
    If you are at intel, and you are obviously interested in this kind of
technology ... what does intel think about jabber?  Are they planning on making any
kind of contributions to the project?  You might want to mention to those guys that
contributing to freedom software is just about the best way to obtain good PR now
adays.

Thanks,
Steven
