I for one think it's a good idea to concentrate on Jabber support on the OpenMoko itself. Jabber is open, versatile, extensible, already has options for gpg-usage for us heavy security nuts, etc. And I don't wish to put down the legacy protocol gateway support (the use of which should be made as easy as possible, of course). This would simplify the software needed phone-side. So, we'd need reliable servers with legacy gateway support. I wonder if FIC would consider providing an appropriate Jabber server to customers. This would enable pretty easy default setup phone-side (basically, if you'd use the FIC server, you'd just have to provide your preferred username and password; if you'd want legacy access you'd also of course have to give eg. your MSN account). Can be done without FIC, of course, but it would be nice to have some trusted server that agrees to be the default and provides the legacy transport support :) -- Mikko J Rauhala <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> University of Helsinki _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
