ANN: Mozilla and Jabber

messaging client integrated with Mozilla.
The Jabber team has been designing and developing an architecture for
real-time messaging that is fully open, utilizes an XML based protocol,
will support the IETF/IMPP developments, and can bridge transparently to
3rd party messaging services such as IRC, ICQ, and AIM.
We are very excited to join the two open-source efforts and create an
integrated Jabber client for Mozilla. The combination will significantly
enhance the communication power and functionality available within the
Mozilla browser and create a standard and powerful client for Jabber.
The initial Mozilla-based client is in it's early stages and will exist
within the sidebar. We are working with the Mozilla team to contribute
our development into the main Mozilla codebase and utilize the mozilla.org
site for announcements, FAQs, and other documents. Over the next few
weeks the Jabber client should be available in CVS and the real-time
messaging area on mozilla.org updated. We are anticipating a working
client and some test servers to be online by the end of September.
