About
My history with Jabber began when I needed a way to send XML over a socket. Since then messaging in general has taken a good portion of my attention with sidetracks into some Jabber projects. As of right now I'm working on a Lisp XMPP library that can be used to create clients, components, and servers to be used for services that I want to launch on Chmpp.com. I've also picked up a gig with GoodServer where the owner has expressed interest in what I know about Jabber.

Future JEPs
I have some outlines and ideas for some future JEPs...er, XEPs. These are:


 * Inline Images: including images and other media inside messages. There's some work on that that I've contributed to in this wiki.
 * Distributed Spim Protection: The Spim XEPs that were developed allow entities to report spim. This would expand those to allow servers to share what their users report with other servers.
 * MUC Encryption: This would define the methods to create covert rooms within MUC rooms. It could be expanded to include any many-to-many communications that XMPP currently has or will have.

The Why
I've been vocal about XMPP and will continue to do so. I want to see what we have been calling the real-time Internet take off, especially within businesses. I also want to see XMPP become *the* messaging and communication protocol.
