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!

Obviously I don't expect it to take over the world instantly, and of course it isn't going to be obligatory like CamCORS - just another means of communication.

Well, another system to maintain (ie play with), right? :)

On an unrelated note it's unfortunate that CUS may go...

Any particular reason? If so you should email cus-futures@ucs.cam.ac.uk.

Tony, yes I know. Being a member of ucam-itsupport mailing list I do get regular reminders from Pat. Really, as far as I am concerned as long as I can run my semi-official web site AND use Raven/etc I am all good. Which reminds me that I am not sure whether PWF (people.pwf) supports Raven, because if it does, it's not too big of a deal. My CUS usage is very low key, I don't even use my email account there anymore.

Given that I can't tell who you are from your username, you can hardly be upset if I assume you are ignorant about the proper channels when you complain in an inappropriate place :-) AFAIK, people.pwf only does basic static-file web serving - I don't know if it has any access control features. If it's important to you, you should ask the appropriate people.
