Of course, and this was some early feedback ;-)

Maybe, what I just wanted to say is that a list is not the best solution.

Yes, maybe.

This is not objective, also it doesn't help new entrants to the Jabber
server services market...

You don't need this acronym when using Coccinella (at least that is
the plan for the future, and the Dutch translation already has this
"feature"). References to Jabber will be also removed but this is
sometimes not so easy. The reason behind this move is that the main
target public of Coccinella does not know what "Jabber" means (and
because the XSF don't seems to have any interest to fix this issue
soon by some branding campaign...I know I repeat myself here ;-) ).
