Happy 5th Birthday, Jabber!
As 
stpeter mentions in the
16th
issue of the Jabber Journal,
it has been 5 years since the Slashdot
story on 4 January 1999, in which jeremie announced the existence of
Jabber. To all involved with
Jabber since then: congratulations!
Although I wasn't involved with Jabber at the very beginning, my
years of experiencing Jabber have been pretty exciting. I have seen
Jabber grow, attract lots of both developers as users, and I even helped
develop Jabber Enhancement protocols. Just like stpeter and hildjj
I find it intellectually stimulating to think of (new) uses of Jabber.
Everywhere. I hope to think of, and test out, more of that the coming
year and beyond.
Jabber rocks!
