“Jeremie Miller is the lead developer of Jabber, a project
to create an open instant messaging and presence
architecture.“
“What motivated you to begin this project?”
“Jeremie Miller: It started as the typical “programmer’s itch”
— having multiple friends on different IM services, and in general
just seeing all the possibilities for extending an IM platform if
it were open. Once I got started, I quickly realized the immense
power of an open extensible real-time messaging network, and it
grew quickly from there.”
