"If we can manage that, we can also convince all the users of WhatsApp, Facebook and Google Hangouts to switch to an open protocol that is ready for the challenges of 2014."

Not sure if serious. Let's hope not.

It was tongue-in-cheek, though my agenda is to make mobile xmpp as reliable and user-friendly as the proprietary apps.

Can you elaborate your reasons for hoping I'm not serious?

IIRC, Facebook Chat was using XMPP but switched to MQTT. Not sure if it has changed since.

Disclaimer: I could be completely wrong.
