*Discussion*

The group discussed XMPP clients:
- The consensus after the second Psi testing session is that Psi is a good,
power-user-oriented client. No further Psi testing is planned.
- Gaim 2.0.0beta4 is now available at http://gaim.sourceforge.net/.
- PhoneGaim adds SIP audio and video to Gaim; see http://www.phonegaim.com/.
PhoneGaim was initiated by Linspire, but a Windows version is also available.
Rodger noted that PhoneGaim uses an older version of the Gaim code.
