That's where the 'community' part comes in. We have the same situation
with phpBB (www.phpbb.com). There is a small group that knows how to
write software, they concentrate on writing the new version of phpBB

I think so, too.
btw. I expect that no jabber developers will spend time in managing
such a webpage as they will better invest more time in their
components&clients. Therefor such a page would rather depend on some
enthusiastic users... And such a user can not be motivated by a

Hi,

think "eliminating bias" should be your top priority. I think "making

Well, simply put, I disagree. To me, the bias of "most popular" client
or "most highly-rated" client, while it may be fine for "average" users
(since that's what you're getting), is not necessarily the best bet for
first-time Jabber users.

Of course but that bias should really reflect that of the community that

Yes, a baseline criteria plus user ratings is a good way to create an
unbiased
listing. However, I still say this list should be chopped off at a small
number like 4 (and actually, I'd be surprised if even 4 clients qualify on
each platform anyway, depending on the criteria). Maybe there could be

Hello,
Last month, the creation of a Jabber Community Site was discussed on
this mailing list. The project has been started.
After looking for a CMS that suited our needs (excellent multi-language

we decided to write a small
