 > I also really fail to see how needing to tell people once that "Jabber
 is (now) XMPP" is a burden that needs to be lifted. I've done it a number
 of times (though the frequency of that has dropped markedly since we first
 made the name change which indicates to me that people really do get it
 and/or don't care.
 I agree with you, telling people that Jabber is XMPP makes sense. I think
 that this should be done by putting this information in some way on the
 website and/or in the software. Changing the name of the protocol in a
 dialog is one (but maybe not the best) option.[[BR]]
 What about telling people by putting a notice on the home page?
