Jason,
I know several people who have expressed interest in seeing James expand as
a groupware product. But putting that aside for the moment, there are a
number of functional and social benefits for James to support Jabber:
- Instant Messaging is a killer application. Integrating it
gets a lot more people interested in, using and supporting
James.
- Jabber instant messaging makes use of a mail server oriented
service model, so the fit is there.
- James could incorporate store and forward, allowing disconnected
Jabber traffic.
- James could integrate Jabber and e-mail in several ways
- Jabber notification of e-mail arrival
- integrate Jabber digests onto mailing lists
- integrate Jabber and e-mail address spaces for short messages

The notion of rosters/groups/lists is something I want to fix with the James
v3 user model.
By the way, I see that you have some MLM code. As you know, one of the
things that we need to do for James v3 is to put in place some serious MLM
support. Do you have any [code, concepts, time] that you can contribute?

I'm interested in how you'd see this happening and what benefits it would
bring.
As part of a groupware product (e.g. Exchange etc) where you already have
the concept of groups (rosters in Jabber terms?) it's a really good fit.
However, on a more user-centric basis I think it would be better to stick
with a non-James integrated system, as James adds little, if any, value to
the equation.
However, if you want to build a James based system to compete with MS
Exchange then lets go for it!
As a first stop I'd suggest people look at http://www.javajabber.net/ first
as it's written in Java and runs in Avalon!
