Re: XMPP IM federation of .edu's

For those of you able to play in the big leagues, Educause and Internet2 have a variety of working groups on IM and "presence" technologies, some of which are doing very interesting things with VOIP and video. Google (or Yahoo!) for it.

For those of you slumming in the bush leagues with me, "it just works," indeed. Forwarded from my Zimbra Chat folder:
