Jabber.org, the public Jabber server of the Jabber Software

1.4 <http://jabberd.org/> CVS to ejabberd <http://ejabberd.jabber.ru/>
1.0.0on February 26, 2006

I think jabber.org  has many registered users and very busy traffic , maybe
the status of jabber.org can provide more informations about  these

But I guess it is not very difficult to fix this issue in future release(if
the core team does think it is a problem), despite need add some
