I think the point is well taken that the service never really got a chance because it wasn't well advertised. I can imagine from a sysadmin perspective that XMPP would serve some interesting use cases for alerting for system events or other things or maybe build failures.
Good to know that this exists, but I didn't know it was available. I have a jabber.org account, which I use occasionally. I might use GNOME's servers now that I know they exist. It would be great if they support federation.
I have a hard time though thinking it is a superior chat system compared to IRC. Mostly because, we have bots, we have just added some new IRC services. Plus some of us run irc under screen, giving us 24/7 access
FWIW Sri is right on: irssi+screen is pretty invaluable. I actually like screen and terminal apps and we use them, because the people who we want to talk to are also on there of course. If all the devs and project groups hung out on XMPP, we'd be there. James
to chat so we don't miss conversations. I think XMPP has a place, but chatting isn't one of them. sri
