NGMP: Update

After the 1.1 release of the NGMP prototype, I took a little hiatus to move 
into a new house and find a job. Both of these things have now been 
accomplished, so it's time to look ahead to version 1.2. The main feature I'm 
going to integrate for 1.2 is SMTP fallback. I've made some preliminary steps 
towards this goal already, and it is looking promising. This feature is, in 
my mind, the chief appeal of the NGMP scheme, because it makes near-term 
adoption a real possibility. I am hoping that once this feature is in place, 
interest in NGMP will pick up and others will start modifying some clients 
(Jabber and/or email) to add advanced NGMP support, and just generally start 
thinking and coding new ideas and new features. I also would really love to 
have some more hands in the protocol wiki. :) As always, if there are 
features you'd like to see or suggestions, feel free to email me, or better 
yet, start a new Wiki page at http://ngmp.libretech.org/NgmpWiki/ and tell me 
about it so I can link to it from the main NGMP page. OK, that's all I've got 
for now.
