As I said, we don't seek it. Slashdot is actually very easy for us to get onto. Like Mozilla, PGP, Linux, KDE, etc, "Jabber" submissions are a shoe-in. For more mainstream tech websites, like ZDNet, this is not so easy, but considering we've been getting decent press for every other phase in the IETF process, I'm sure we can expect coverage on all the major tech/computer outlets, particularly if it is pitched well. If anyone is going to care about a network protocol, IM is it. > accross and also to make clear to the press what the difference between > Jinc, JSF and Jabber is :D +1 This might also be a good opportunity to mention non-Jinc software (honorable mention at least for Psi, Exodus, and jabberd, which power most of our community), and the fact that popular multi-IM clients are including Jabber support (to clear up the "jabber == multi-IM" misconception). Also, I think we should not mention transports. -Justin _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/jdev
