For the love of all, don't wait for Jinc! :P  We can't trust these journalists 
to get anything right.  If you don't believe me, go read the most recent Jinc 
article on jabber.org.  It's a confusing read, starting from the first 
sentence:

"Jabber on Monday rolled out an updated edition of its open source-based 
instant messaging platform"

So rob didn't quit?  Or wait, Jinc has an open source server?  Err, huh?

"It's also the first commercial server software to be fully compliant with the 
IETF's Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) standard, Jabber 
claimed."

Gadzooks, our protocol has come alive and is talking.  Run for your lives!

Sorry, it's nearly 3am here.

In any case, I don't think the JSF has any trouble getting press, we just 
rarely seek it.  If PSA writes a press release, it will be everywhere we want 
it to be.
