GTalk file transfer is non-standard. This is Google's problem, and well out of our hands. Psi got this right. It uses an improved file transfer mode when operating between Psi<->Psi, but it will gracefully fall back to the standard file transfer when interacting with other clients. This, and the Psi team only has a measly two PhDs! Google has a few more, I hear, so they should have no trouble solving this problem. > It's time and energy we could spend on sorting out how to make Jingle > more readily implementable.

You say this a lot, too. :) I think you overestimate just how many developers are capable of making (or in a position to make) Jingle implementations. -Justin
