Wow, Dizzy, you have a potent bunch of questions there. I think a lot of this confusion stems from the fact that some people are working on Jabber for companies with the explicit goal of bringing it to corporate users. That’s a very valid goal and something I think people should continue to pursue. But […]
Peter, I like the idea, but please don’t call it “JabFab.”

And not the good kind.
Honestly, I don’t even know where to begin. Just wow.
I just got done reorganizing the projects section of my web site and put up the basics of a design portfolio to reflect my increasing interest and involvement in Design with a capital ‘D’.
Right now my portfolio only has three of my school projects posted. Those of you involved in Jabber may be a little […]
