Wauw, a reply to my own message ;-). I think that we could be able to convince people of moving to Jabber, but the problem is that I haven't saw a client yet who could compete with the functionality like e.g. ICQ has. Of course, ICQ is really over over featured, but still I miss features like "sending one message to multiple users" "good working file transfer (I'm behind vpn and I must say that a big file transfer usually fails)" "multiple file transfer" "resumable file transfer" in the currently available client. The thing I hate about ICQ now is that file sharing thing: it gives people access to your files but you don't know who or what is actually downloading. That's why I'm still waiting for a full featured client! I hope that exodus (http://exodus.sourceforge.net) gets that far: I tried Winjab (predessor of exodus) and I liked its look and feel a lot! And it looks that there is good working on it (on exodus). I would like to help the developer of exodus, but I don't have the knowledge (yet ;-)). _________________________________________________________________ MSN Foto's is de eenvoudigste manier om je foto's te delen en af te drukken: http://photos.msn.nl/Support/WorldWide.aspx _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
