Joel on Software: "A free Groove redistributable would mean that hundreds of applications would spring up which would get the runtime spread far and wide. Many of those users would see the value in buying a full version of Groove with built in collaboration features."
Do you need to wait for Groove to do this? Maybe something like jabberzilla is the extensible collaborative application platform you are longing for. (I didn't even know about jabberzilla when I started writing up this weblog entry; I just did a quick Google search on Jabber and Mozilla.) I'm not dissing Groove here, but I am goading them. Groove, don't put roadblocks in front of your developers; the infrastructure bits are out there to build ad-hoc Groove-like platforms, so you need to make Groove as accessible and extensible as possible.
