Ok, I didn't know that, I always thought JabberStudio was a JSF project. > JabberStudio just happens to run on the same machines as the JSF sites. > As has been said before, I believe you are welcome to help them make > JabberStudio better. The point of my mail is not to do some gratuitious JS bashing but raise the issue of the infrastructure provided to Jabber-related developers.

Since it isn't, I think it might be a good idea to address the need for a freshmeat-like site for Jabber, where people could learn about new software releases. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/jdev
