Jabber is an open, XML based Instant Messaging system that seeks
to be the standard IM network. It is a distributed system, created
from the ground up, not relying upon central servers. Thus, anyone
can run a server, and they are all interoperable. For assistance
with migrating users to Jabber, many servers feature transports
for interoperating with other IM systems.
