[jdev] The future of Jabber/XMPP?

[Nicolas Vérité]

Prosody is not the only project to grow consistently and steady:
http://www.ohloh.net/p/compare?project_0=ejabberd&project_1=Prosody&project_2=Tigase+Jabber/XMPP+Server&submit=Go
There's also Vysper, and maybe do not bury too fast XCP (or its legacy).

I've slowed down the XMPP Roundup publication pace, but there's plenty
a new and updated projects, among which there is not only servers, but
also clients, services, and many other innovative uses. To be honest,
I just can't follow the news...

XMPP is alive and kicking.
