My opinion here is that since anyone can start a portal+client website, I don't see why the JSF could not be a part of it. If there really is a disagreement about which client to give the masses, we can hold a vote. > That said, I actually agree that the clients listing on Jabber.org is > pretty shabby.

We should pursue all avenues at once. :) The current client listing is totally lacking on jabber.org, and a nice site with screenshots and reviews would be great. But I also think we need that jabber.net (is this the codename by now?) portal. -Justin _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
