This is not the only question you need to ask yourself. If you ask yourself the importance of both projects in the bigger communities, you get IMO a very good image for ejabberd: * ejabberd is the third, or even second most visible open-source projects in the Erlang comminity. * On the other hand, Wildfire is one of the, let's say (at least it will be not the second or third most important project), top 100 open-source projects written in Java. Besides that, ejabberd also has much more unsponsored contributions than Wildfire has. So if Jive drops their contributions, the risk for problems in the project is probably higher than if Process-One drops their contributions to ejabberd. (Dropping contributions can be things like focussing on other markets and products, bankruptcy,..) -- Mvg, Sander Devrieze. xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ejabberd, the expandable Jabber daemon. -- http://ejabberd.jabber.ru/
