I have some questions about jabber. Can a non-jabber client talk to a jabber server with xml-rpc? Or does one commit to the jabber protocol completely? Why not use one of the other standard messaging services? With jabber, why use xml-rpc at all?

Hi Horst,
this is a very good idea. Will you setup an online xmlrpc-via-jabber server for all of us on this list?
I have used jabber before using 2-3 clients both on windows and linux, but I guess we cannot use them for our health apps, can we? So we need some libraries or drivers. Are there libraries/drivers available around?
thanks in advance, elpidio
