This shows my point, Temas.

People obviously aren't willing to do the mundane
tasks.  Jabber.com comes along, and makes some
progress on this, but still there are only 5 "core
dudes" making progress in getting things out.  (your
words)

If other corporations besides Jabber.com are allowed
to get involved, they can put resources and money into
this as well.  But other corporations are being told
by Jabber.com not to mention Jabber in their company
names, product names, domain names, etc, thus
deflecting them away from Jabber and away from
contributing to Jabber.

Also, I think more volunteer Jabber programmers & tech
writers would get involved if there was the potential
of several corporations possibly hiring them, not just
Jabber.com.

If you want more than 5 core dudes, make Jabber OPEN
for real!
