[JDEV] Jabber.org vs. commercial Jabber structure

[Ivan R. Judson]

Hey,

I'd advocate using something like ACE
(http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html) as a basis for building new
server type software.  The reasons include:

1) includes an OS portability layer (which is ported to all major and many
minor platforms).
2) Extensive research on high-performance servers, check out the
publications
3) Very good abstract interfaces for common tools (tasks vs procs/threads)

This has proven an excellent tool for at least 3 years, perhaps more. This
could address alot of issues in the next server.
