[JDEV] Transferring from jabber.com to jabber.org

[Paul L. McNeely]

What if after the transfer jabber notified each contact that the contact
moved. I mean an automated message telling a person that a person has moved
their contact point should suffice. If not possibly give them the option to
have themselves be removed. Or perhaps there is a way for a jabber server to
link to the other server and use the server as a proxy of sorts temporarily
sending the contact list to the other server?

That problem occurred to me too.  I think you would have to
re-verify all your contacts again...
