Signing up for more work

Foolish, I know, but I'll get stale if I do nothing but email. This week I are been mostly writing a draft proposal to be given to my senior management team, suggesting that I should implement a Jabber service for Cambridge University. All comments and suggestions welcome!

You mean you're suggesting to the CS that they implement something akin to the 'message' functionality they had on phoenix 30 years ago?

[yes, I know. 'luddite' etc]

Did Phoenix's system have the ability to message users on other remote servers? ;-)

[uitlander]

Yes. I believe we called it 'e-mail' ;-)
