<P><FONT SIZE=2>Currently, it can connect to Jabber over base_accept, base_connect, </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>or base_exec (for that portion of the connectivity, I'm using</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>David Waite's JabberBeans, which is delightfully independent of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>connection type).</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>JOSL looks good, I've got some people here looking into</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>what would best support our interests. (there are others in</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>consideration)</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Anyway, it's still HIGHLY preliminary right now, and I'm </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>looking for people to test on a variety of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>platforms, give me feedback, and force</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>me to make this a really solid piece of software.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>This sound real cool. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Are you doing it as a server or command line call?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>As for packaging, I think org.jabber.xdb is prefferable since that's </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>what it is. And anyone familiar to Jabber server will know that xdb </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>is the backend to Jabberd.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Licensing -- Most of the Jabber stuff falls under JOSL but an </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>Apache or BSD license would be ok by most people, but GPL </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>probably wouldn't (at least it would limit to the places where it </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>might get used). However, note that under JOSL, Apache/BSD </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>people can take it, & compile it into their code & can add </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>proprietary extensions. That may or may not matter to y'all.</FONT>
