[JDEV] Request for comments on system using jabber

[Al Sutton]

The system I wrote to monitor freshmeat is extensible so it could monitor
any source (and send out via any transport), and it's now taken only 15 man
hours of development time. As it's this simple to write a clone you'll
probably find that before ActiveBuddy reach annoyance levels we will have
1001 similar systems doing the same thing.

Al.

P.S. Before anyone thinks I copied their name and system, I own the
personalbuddy.com domain (hence where the name came from), and as it's a
test system ran it under the JID with the same name.
