Quite so, I've made a small summary a while back on the state of things, here: https://mailman.ik.nu/pipermail/twisted-jabber/2007-September/000147.html . It is slightly out of date, but mostly accurate. Writing the session manager has been the hard part and I wouldn't recommend to take that on as a SoC project. The suggestion for writing a bare-bones router by Pedro is a nice one, however most parts are already there I would think. That said, I would love to have some more eyes and help in developing this to a basic jabber server. -- Groetjes, ralphm
