[Foundation] JSF == Jabber Standards Foundation?

[Sebastiaan Deckers]

+1 for XMPP Foundation (or something with XMPP)

I removed Jabber from my freeware/sharedsource software a month ago, 
because *every time* someone asked me for a branded client I was told to 
remove the word "Jabber" throughout the user interface.
Companies do not like to spend resources on building brand recognition 
for another company.  And neither do I, as a non-commercial member of 
this comunity (and of the JSF).
The name "Jabber" served its purpose: to get where we are today.  But 
now there is a better choice: XMPP.  It is a more generic name for a 
more generic XML streaming protocol.

Now stop this bitching and vote!
