[jdev] ejabberd vs. Wildfire

[Matt Tucker]

Yves,

Your best bet may be to install both servers and see which one meets
your needs most closely. Two things that might be helpful:

 Blog review of Wildfire:

 Perusing the Wildfire community: http://www.jivesoftware.org/forums

We'll definitely be adding support for privacy lists in the near future.
Up to this point, very few have asked for the feature since so few
clients have support. When we do add support, we'd also like to expose
it in a nice way in Spark.

Regards,
Matt
