Well, my company (ProcessOne) has been doing this since 2002 or so. We are trying to convince customers that XMPP is a worthy technology, but it is becoming harder and harder to do. I think it's virtually impossible for a non-profit organization such as XSF to spread the technology among large customers. Initially there was hype (most likely due to GTalk), but now there is no hype. Also, there are a lot of open-source enthusiasts on the list and seems like they are setting the trend for XSF movement (unlike, for example, WhatWG). In this case, obviously, XMPP will be built for this enthusiasts, because it will solve their problems (obsession with encryption is an example), but not the problems of large/commercial services (which, seems like, isn't even be understood). _______________________________________________ Standards mailing list Info: https://mail.jabber.org/mailman/listinfo/standards Unsubscribe: [email protected] _______________________________________________
