I would still go for a *framework*-project so people can easily set up a 
localized site (and it's more in the line of the Jabber philosofy: 
distributed). Because one big "JSF-thumbs-up" will be in English... not 
every user understands English very well. And I don't think the JSF has 
the bandwith to provide http://be.jabber.net, http://nl.jabber.net, 
http://ro.jabber.net,... And that framework project doesn't have to 
focus on "content", but much more on "logic" and a framework to 
*provide* presentation (the project shouldn't worry to much on the 
presentation itself).

Why a framework? Well, why has the Jabber community so much servers? 
Because you can just download jabberd, install it on a linux server and 
that's it, nothing more. You customize it yourself by installing some 
components.
Why would end-user sites pop-up as mushrooms? Because they would have a 
framework, to easily set up a site on their own.

just my 0.5 cents
(again :))
