I just finished a summer program at the school I've decided to go to for college (Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology), named Operation Catapult
They have a really cool summer engineering program, for anyone that has an interest in any type of engineering. Only juniors are allowed in, so there is a little bit of "recruiting" going on. It's 3 weeks, and tons of fun. A nice mix of Sports and other fun activities also.
The thing is run by the school, with real profs doing the teaching, and students from the school are the consolers.
the FSF started with a goal of creating a Free (as in speech) O.S. They Copied Unix, Unix was there, and they copied it. Why, Because it was the best system at the time. RMS himself had said that they would take a Unix system, and begin coding replacements for all the programs, then remove the non free program from the Unix System. This isn't Chaos, it's a plan of attack.
I would love to see something like this, alot of programers may not have an "itch to scratch", but they may see something that is needed at a repository like this, as say "Hey I could do that."
Since Jabber is OSS, how hard would it be to add encryption to it?
I know that it sends messages via xml, so perhaps you could create an tag, that would let jabber know that this content is encrypted and needs to be decoded before viewing.

I had a blast, check it out... http://www.rose-hulman.edu/catapult/
IMHO, you are wrong.

When the Metallica (sp? I don't care) bannings when't down they sprinkeled bits also. Took people like two days to remove what they did.

Just and idea.
