[Wocky] Google Talk S2S status

[Paul B. Hill]

Hi Mark,

Thank you for the correction.

Some users at other sites had reported that they noticed the S2S support was
working when they started seeing old pending invitations. I had sent a buddy
invitation long ago, but didn't see any notification today. Since seeing
your mail I deleted the old unauthorized, offline buddy and sent a new
invitation. Everything is now working correctly and I am able to reach GTalk
users from my MIT jabber account and vice versa.

I also note that today I retested s2s with jabber.org and that is now
working as well.

Paul

Hi Paul,

FYI we actually do have dialback enabled on jabber.mit.edu.
