As long expected, the IESG has approved the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP): Core (draft-ietf-xmpp-core-22.txt) as a Proposed Standard. For those of you in the dark, thats the protocol behind the only tried and proven open IM platform, Jabber. Congrats to the hard working Peter Saint-Andre, and the entire XMPP Working Group.
Jabber is now the only official Internet Standard for Instant Messaging!

I don't usually read /. unless I get directed there via an article so my impression of it is only from it's reputation as being: "fertile ground" for the varying reasons ground can be considered that way.
Anyways, I imagine they may get a lot of submissions and as such, require a lot of content management.
