[jdev] Query regarding development

[Justin Karneges]

Hi Praz,

By the way, the software you mention is called 'jabberd' (there is no software 
called 'jabber', it is simply the protocol name).

I guess the first thing you must decide is what you want to work on.

Jabberd is a jabber server.  Do you actually want to make server software?  Or 
did you mean you want to make something else, such as a client or component, 
and you're wondering what server software to try it with?

If you want to help with the jabberd, you should contact the developers or 
write to the mailing list.  Details are at the website:
  http://jabberd.jabberstudio.org/

If you just want to "use" a server, then any of them should do, at least in 
the beginning.  jabberd 1 is well tested, jabberd 2 is more up to date, and 
there is even ejabberd (getting popular now) and Jive Messenger.  There are 
also lots of non-opensource choices that may be usable for free or evaluation 
purposes.  See here:

Good luck,
-Justin
