Rimas,
BeShare isn't dead, just lacks users... The goal here is to have a unified app, preferably included in R1, for the community to connect to. What are the advantages of XMPP? I've never used it.. I tried "Chat" from haikuware, but it doesn't seem user friendly.. Do you know a good XMPP client to use?

There are actually BeShare clients for Windows/Linux, Unizone was a QT application. We could use that to promote
beshare, which would also be useful for promoting Haiku-os.

I'd vote for a Haiku jabber server (xmpp)

It does everything BeShare did minus file indexing.

Then again, idling in IRC isn't bad either :)
