Forum OpenACS Development: Response to IM or IRC

9: Response to IM or IRC (response to 1)

Michael, my review of Jabber is mostly conjecture. Other than the fact all of my clients crash regularly (which isn't the server's fault) but sometimes I have a hard time connecting to any of the public Jabber servers.

Also, it's not totally ready for prime time. For instance, it still doesn't have HTML support for in-browser chats. I think that's a rather important thing for a system like OpenACS. Eventually they ought to have it and better things like Voice over IP, but until then I think it will be a little short for IM.

However, it seems to have a lot of potential for an XML alert system. I'm more interested in seeing Jabber integrated so that we can take advantage of Jabber in creative ways.
