[JDEV] jabber, grove, and communcation infastructure

[Peter Saint-Andre]

When I first heard about Groove I wondered if they were using Jabber on
the back end. I've heard rumblings about some projects along these lines
in the Jabber world but nothing firm or ready for prime-time (hell, not
even ready for late-night). The folks at PocketLinux are using Jabber in
imaginative ways, you might want to check out their platform
(http://pocketlinux.com/) and also look at rao's Jabber page
(http://www.jabber.org/person/rao/).
