[JDEV] jabber, grove, and communcation infastructure

[Rolle, Ted]

Quick, guys!  I have a manager stopping by this afternoon to take a look at
Jabber!  He has the authority to approve continuation of my intranet
implementation here...

So, what I'm asking is:
What sorts of things can Jabber be used for, besides Instant Messaging;
what's currently being worked on?  What's in the planning stage?

The Instant Messaging of Jabber might be enough to "sell" it, but my vision
is that it can be used to transmit files to users, process control,
whatever....

Eagerly awaiting replies-ly

Ted

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.
