freeIM.org vs. Jabber.org

freeIM.org -- I don't agree with freeIM's argument that AOL should have to open up AIM. If people want open-standards IM, then people should create open-standards IM. There's nothing stopping people from doing that. Write an RFC, create some reference implementations, and promote it.

Now, look at the Jabber.org group in comparison:

News ::
Tools ::
Documentation ::
Downloads ::
Projects

With great people like the Jabber group around, I have no sympathy for the lazy people at freeIM.org.
