I assume you mean to the jabberd oss server?

Sleeping.  :)  At least, I for one have been busy on other projects so JAM
has been taking a back seat.  I assume that the lack of discussion from the
other JAM members reflects a similar situation.

You should check out the jabber-rpc JIG at the foundation.jabber.org.  There
has been recent discussions there about JAM-like issues and specifically
about XML-RPC over Jabber.

Adam Theo has been talking with the .GNU people about Jabber and .GNU (GNU's
.NET).  He may be able to point you to the right places to go... It may be
easier to approach this from their end than from Jabber's.

Ps - JAM is an open working group, if you want you can start the discussions
up by posting to the list and trying to get things going again.
