www.drupal.org allows some jabber integration .. most notably
authentication via jabber (most drupal installations allow you to log in
with a variety of different remote authentication methods).

Tipic.com , one of the commercial jabber offerings run their website on
drupal , and have a new highly integrated weblog product called
www.motime.com.

I am working on jabber/drupal/ldap integration/authentication for my new
jabber.org.za public server/ open source content network (linux.org.za
etc).

It's also a very nice project with a nice user community and a good
design (kerneltrap.org and debianplanet.org run on it for instance.)
