[TriLUG] IM (Jabber and others... doing windows)

[Matt Pusateri]

Chris,

I'm looking at jabber servers right now as well.  Its seems that:

ejabberd is most xmpp compliant
jabber 1.x is most stable with most pluggins
jabber 2.x is promising - complete rewrite of jabber 1.x

I didn't really look at the others.  I was going to start withe
ejabberd first.
