Sorry, that was a typo, I have used jabberd in the past, I know basic 
configurations and its protocol

I wanted to develop a component. I have already developed a client some 
2 yrs back ;) I wanted to try adding more features.

Thanks for all the information. Since I have said above that I would 
want to develop a component (I have also read most of jabber's 
documentation), is plugging in a component consistent across all jabber 
servers? I am more interested in jabberd-1.4.3 and jabberd2. I have also 
used wpjabber in the past. Awaiting your reply.
