[JDEV] jabber, grove, and communcation infastructure

[Thomas Muldowney]

This is exactly what Jabber was designed for, it just happens that IM is the
first (and easiest) case example.  As St. Peter mentioned PocketLinux is using
Jabber for just about everything it does, very neat!  I also know of help desk
management solutions, and system monitoring solutions built on Jabber's ideas.
I would expect to see a lot more coming out soon along lines other than your
standard "IM" fair.
