Talk:Comparison of instant messaging protocols
Perhaps this list should be re-arranged "Standard", "Proprietary," and "Obsolete" to help users decide which protocol to choose based on whether or not it's still used, and whether or not there's an IETF standard or something in the standards track for it. --BalooUrsidae 08:46, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
The whole listing makes very little sense -- in terms of future editing i suggest we have
Standards Based
Proprietary
Obsolete
in each section (in a table) include
Creator First public release date License Identity (not inc. alias) Asynchronous message relaying Distributed network Offline messaging RFC's
Its always going to be confusing as Bonjour uses OSCAR AND XMPP and as these networks combine this will all change
I agree with the merge --Davelane 21:36, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
I agree as well. Additional columns would be: server<->client encryption. Tadu 22:04, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Merging seems to be a good thing. NaturalBornKiller 18:36, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
