[jdev] Request to list XMPP-FTW on xmpp.org

[Steffen Larsen]

Hi Lloyd!,

First of all, super project!. I would say its more a library than an actual client (almost on the same level as strophe.js and stanza.io). Even though I use strophe for web stuff I still see the use cases for this library and others of the same kind.

Talking about stanza.io, I don't see that one on the site either?. Shouldn't we promote these libraries, even though they are quite new?

Events allow the server to fill in gaps which allows the JSON messages to only include the parts they need.
