I apologize, I haven't touched this.

The reason I haven't done this yet is that it's really not yet useful for 
anything.  At this point it's just a command-line Jabber client that can 
send various forms of standard and extended presence.  The plan is to make 
it Applescriptable, so that simple Applescript tools can grab related 
information from other desktop tools and send it to the Jabber server,
but it just hasn't gotten anywhere near the top of my priority list in a 
long time.

As it is, it should work on just about any platform, since it's written in 
Python.  However, Applescript is obviously a Mac-only tool, and I was 
unable to find a parallel for Windows (I wonder whether Vista has 
anything...)  And without Windows, the whole idea seemed a lot less 
valuable.
