        Hey,
 
 Sorry, I don't know of any JEP that would help. You will probably have 
 to write it yourself. As I said:
 
     * Client sends presence notification
     * Your server "notices" the notification
     * Your server stores this in the database
     * Your server forwardes the original notification
 
 You can also subscribing your sever. As far as I know, that should work, 
 but some other clients/servers might break if you try that. Maybe 
 someone else could elaborate (Peter)? I have noticed that websites (such 
 as the Jabber world map) need a contact in your contact list to 
 subscribe, I'm not sure if has occurred to anyone to just subscribe the 
 server.
 
 Cheers,
  Jonathan Dickinson
