        Wohoo !. I should really subscribe jdev ;)

        GPL Rul3z .... So I have no doubts .. I just noticed that Jabber.org
has a philosophy section. Since I could not see any COPYING file in my CVS
of jabberd from jabberstudio , I may have got the wrong server. Where's
the real server ?.

        Also I noticed Jabber had a php class library -- so it will make 
integration with phpgw easier in the long term. This just could be the
glue we sorely need to bind Pnet, phpgw , Auth and (SEE | VRS).

        I'm yet to try anything on Jabber, but from the proposals I read,
I think this should be a good idea to use a system that has proven 
itself. Also XML rules any project from now on.

PS: As I had said a long time ago, gziping XML to save on bandwidth
    is a good idea. Hoping that jabber can manage that automagically.
