Maybe a stupid question, but... I hope you can explain this Luis. Once your interface is finished, will registred user be able to use it without having to download a jabber client onto their PC? If so, that would be great news.

Thanks
Ben

Hello Ben,

there is no way you can participate in Jabber without having a client. In our modell you will have two options.

One is to use the Java Applet that resides on the AOLserver and allows you to participate in discussions with your friends, regardless where they are logged in.

The other one is something we need to explore using Java Webstart and / or links to Winjab / Gabber or even aol:// style links.

But this is a seperate issue from the UI and you will have plenty of time exploring this and other options of the Jabber Module for OpenACS once it is done 😊.
