[JDEV] FIMA

[Pete Chown]

I heard on the grapevine that the Financial Services Instant Messaging 
Association -- FIMA -- had received presentations from different IM 
suppliers, including Jabber.

I'm now hearing contradictory stories; some people tell me that they are 
favouring SIP/SIMPLE, perhaps because of the recent story about Reuters 
and Microsoft.  Other people tell me that they are still open to Jabber- 
based instant messaging services.

Does anyone know the state of play on this?  It would be a shame if 
Jabber ends up losing out here, when it has been around for such a long 
time and SIMPLE is so new.
