The one thing I want the most is to have a good working bugfree Jabber client. Not an overfeatured one (like ICQ), but one with, next to the normal features:
* good, stable (resumable) file transfer that also works for big files * good notification when a message arrives (I liked the notification of ICQ a lot!) * broadcast message to a group I tried to convince some people of using Jabber and the things I mentioned above were the ones that were talked most about. I have the patience to wait for "my" good client, but a lot of the people I tried to convince don't :( . They liked the idea of an open source IM-system, but they can't live without a good Jabber client. What other (windows-)people like a lot is (/me does not care): * emoticons: as much as their computer can store ;-) (also see: "[JDEV] Emoticons: guidelines" * File sharing. Although I totally dislike this feature of ICQ, people find it handy to be able to transfer and share files. Personally I hate it when people are downloading stuff from my computer and I don't know who or what. I must say that I don't know how things would be solved when one client supports file sharing and the other doesn't. Does the Jabber protocol itself supports file sharing? What do you think yourself? greetz .m. aka (c)obnet --- http://student.rug.ac.be/astrid/Internet/jabber.php _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
