Even at a 100 person company I knew, half the organization used gchat and half used jabber/webex connect. Each side had champions that spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to convert everyone to one platform, and last I checked they still hadn't succeeded.
- hurin 12y agoThere are gui clients that support both protocols (i.e. I think Pidgin does) - why not just write a plugin that allows to cross-communicate between the two?
- nemothekid 12y agoAs time goes on I get more and more disillusioned with solutions that begin with "why not just write". Nothing excites me more than having to think about supporting yet another codebase deployed to non-technical people who will undoubtedly cause more bugs than thought possible and open more JIRA tickets about it with increasingly vague title names. At some point Slack or [integration of choice] is cheaper than having an internal engineering team to write half-baked communication solutions.
