But we don't have a really good offering for anybody who has already done its part. Why XMPP? You want to provide clients for your users to every platform, one own for windows, and pidgin for others. You also want to provide webchat of course. Federation... well, federation shouldn't be done on chat level on social network sites. That's a much more deeper issue. And it seems it'll maybe solved by XMPP. But again, not in the chat level first. -- Aadaam <[email protected]>
