This is indeed a strange phenomenon. Even amongst the people I introduced to XMPP, the name “Jabber” is more popular. I think it related to the fact that XMPP is a four letter acronym, which sounds technical (especially in DE, where X is a rare letter), while Jabber is a short word which is somewhat easier to memorize. I just wanted to throw that in, I take it's not really possible to get that trademark back, although it is probably the term by which the network is best known by the end users. regards, Jonas _______________________________________________ JDev mailing list Info: http://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/jdev Unsubscribe: [email protected] _______________________________________________
