[Wocky] Re: Jabber Project Announcement

[Jonathan Reed]

Hi,

Is it envisioned that Jabber will eventually replace Zephyr at MIT? 
In particular, will it replace it for communication in the Athena 
environment?  If so, I'd like Athena Consulting to be involved in 
some early testing.  In particular, since Athena Consulting uses 
Zephyr for both communication with clients and with co-workers, it 
would be nice to see how Jabber fits in to our current work model.

Thanks,

Jon
