Don't know about that either, a heads-up would be nice.

I have a similar problem of my contacts names disappearing upon  
connection, so I can't start a conversation
  because my contact list become empty (that may be an iChat bug  
though, i've no problem with KDE's kopete).
So, if Jive's platform is better in any way and you feel like taking  
care of it I think  it should be considered seriously.
