Server-side Swift is not mature by any measure, but there are very vibrant groups building a few competing solutions, outside the IBM group. I've already built a low-importance, in-production server using Vapor <https://github.com/qutheory/vapor>. There's another group called Zewo <https://github.com/Zewo/Zewo> also building web frameworks and underlying technology. In an attempt to make the quickly-emerging frameworks pluggable into each other, these spec-like <https://github.com/open-swift> libraries were created. Another collection of frameworks in nestproject <https://github.com/nestproject>, which aims at standardizing the web server/web application interface.
There are many more projects, but I've contributed to these three and there are many very active people trying to create production-ready tools by the time Swift 3 is released. Again, you can already build servers today, but expect Swift and APIs to change frequently until Swift 3 drops. So if you'd like to contribute, these might be a good place to start.
