Hi, XMPP and social networks were quite heavily discussed at this summit - and I think that people are investing quite some time in it. As I see it BuddyCloud and Jappix are quite active and are viable solutions. Because some components in BuddyCloud are written in java in doesn’t make it insecure. In fact I can only say that the JRE is insecure, making statements like Java (JVM) is insecure is a bit bold - and also I think that BuddyCloud only uses Java on their component and REST endpoints - not in the UI, which prob. is done in Javascript / HTML5 (But I’ll let Simon Tennant answer that one to be 100% sure). I would personally use BuddyCloud and extend it to your own purpose and needs.
