The END of ZEPHYR?!?!?!?! </chicken-little>

Probably not, there will always be cruft to keep it going. But I can
attest that as an clueless incoming frosh raised on AIM and IRC, the way
zephyr worked seemed foreign to me... "What? They're like... chatrooms
where you can't see who's in them?" It definitely took me a few months to
warm up to it, and if Jabber had also been an option, I'm not convinced I
wouldn't have taken it.

Anyhow, I like their list name. :-)

Subject: Jabber Project Announcement

Hello,

I am pleased to announce the startup of an IS&T project to introduce
an MIT-wide Jabber messaging service.  We hope to offer this service
to users in a pilot capacity in September 2005.  The project is #1127
in the IT work database.

The project is sponsored by Theresa Regan.
Joanne Hallisey is the Project Manager.
Greg Hudson is the Technical Lead.

The project plans to begin the pilot at the beginning of the fall
2005 semester.  The pilot will be monitored for any unforeseen
issues, and information will be collected during the semester to
inform the support and service processes for a future production
service.

The project has had an ITAG review and initial contact has been made
with SWRT, Training and Publications and the Computing Help Desk.  If
you think that the project should check in with your team, or if you
have questions, please contact us at wocky@mit.edu.  If you would
like to follow the work of the project, please subscribe to the list
membership.

Thank you.
Joanne
