[JDEV] Slashdot Article

[Sean Voisen]

I am a newcomer to the Jabber development community, and like Chris am 
very interested in the Flash/Jabber integration possibilities.  I just 
got DJ's book today, but I'm sure it will take me a long way.

I was not even aware of jabberFlash until Chris just mentioned it.  I 
will definitely be looking into that.  I have been primarily looking at 
the latest Flabber source code that Josh Bauguss graciously sent to me.  
I'm glad to learn there is already a flash jabber API in progress.

I also am NOT working on instant messaging, but hopefully my small 
efforts will help open up the community to the idea that Jabber 
definitely has more to offer than just IM.
