Apparently, though unproven, at 19:23 on Sunday 19 September 2010, piccardi did opine thusly:

You'd think I'd be a prime candidate for XMPP server knowledge, or that my users - high-level engineers and sysadmins - would be clamouring for me to provide this service. Or that the customers would be. Not so. We have an internal Jabber server but the vast majority of users use Skype, MSN or GTalk. The Jabber server is there for when engineers report network outages to the Help Desk and a log is needed that they did so. Employees of Skype, MSN and Google need to know this stuff but that seems to be where it ends. The topic is likely not useful for a 305 exam out there in the wild. -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com _______________________________________________ lpi-examdev mailing list lpi-examdev@lpi.org http://list.lpi.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lpi-examdev
