We've got a ton of folks on WebEx Connect (http://www.webex.com/connect/), which is "just" an XMPP server with its own set of extensions, similar to Gtalk and Facebook. It would be cool to have our own account type so that it would be easier to add support for our own proprietary authentication mechanism and our invite-to-WebEx-meeting feature. Instead of asking for that, we've been working to standardize the stuff that Adium/Pidgin/etc. needs to implement. (aside: if someone would look at http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-kitten-sasl-saml-04 to see if that's something you'd be willing to do one day, that would be cool. We're *not* ready for anyone to implement it in more than quick-prototype mode, though, since it still might change radically) -- Joe Hildebrand
