Hey ppl,     I'm new to this group and to Jabber. Planning to develop an IM as my final year project (Computer Science and Engineering Student). What I've right now come up with is to include the following components apart from the basic messenger items: *Include Jabber/XMPP *Voice based IM using SIP *Low bit rate algorithm's like iLBC etc           Now I know there are lot of messengers out there which works on the above, hence it would be great if you guys could suggest some new additions (something outta de box!). It would also be a great help if you could suggest me some litreture on making XMPP work with SIP and  which platform is the best for this kind of development.
