I know this is a milestone, good work :) > XMPP is also on the roadmap, I would like to see it happen within 1-3 > months at most.

Excellent news. I know there has been talk of an XMPP server on debian.org on and off for some time, it would be great to see this happen :) > The biggest challenge is that all Debian infrastructure is run by > volunteers: in this type of community, it is not reasonable to ask them > to support anything that will be a drain on their time.

I'd be able and willing to help with this. I'm not a Debian developer, but I admire the project a lot and would love to contribute in this way. I am a volunteer admin of a number of XMPP servers already, including jabber.org, dukgo.com (DuckDuckGo's community server) and some smaller public services. As an XMPP developer I've worked on integrating XMPP servers with all kinds of systems. > b) can anybody comment on which products may suit Debian's operational > requirements? On discussing actual software I have to disclose that I'm a developer of Prosody, an open-source XMPP server. I think it would cover all your needs, but it would be helpful to know a little bit more about them. Even if you were to ultimately choose other software I'd still like to help where I can, though obviously my usefulness will decrease somewhat. Regards, Matthew
