AOL testing XMPP server to bridge AIM/ICQ - sweet!
Saw a serious flurry of JDev chat-room messages earlier today and was wondering what the fuss was all about and then I read this post by Florian and just about wet myself ;)
That is great news that AOL, one of the bastions of closed-source'ness is adopting an open-source protocol (and XMPP to boot!)
While it's still alpha quality, I look forward to ditching all things Oscar from my code.
